Help Anyway

Today, I assigned my son a cooking project. He didn't want to do it. But I asked, and he did it. He did his best. But it didn't turn out, anyway.

We are both quite disappointed about it. But neither one of is is mad at the other one.

I am grateful for a son who helps me even when he doesn't want to, who doesn't do a sloppy job just to show me how unhappy he is that I asked for help. And who doesn't lord it over me when he is right and I am wrong.

I am thankful to know that he will help me again next time. Because there is always a next time. And sometimes he is willing to help; sometimes he is not. But he helps anyway.

What are you blessed with today?
