This morning I got to go to the Temple. I reflected on a pattern I noticed in how Heavenly Father does his work. He first makes a plan, then makes assignments (delegation), the work gets done, return and report. It seems like there are some lessons here that I can apply to my life.
Heidi and I have been working together to refine our grocery system. Today we set a goal to buy most of our nonperishable food for the month. By the time we made it to the grocery store Peter had fallen asleep. I offered to wait with him but Heidi had a better idea. She found some soft things in the van and made a bed for Peter in a cart. I wish I'd thought to take a picture. He slept through most of the trip through the store and was happy when he woke up. He even fell back asleep on the way home.
This evening Heidi had a leadership training meeting for Primary leaders. She was in charge of training Primary leaders with cub scouting responsibilities. There is a lot for those leaders to learn. I'm proud of how Heidi has worked hard to know her stuff and of her love of service to share her skills.
Heavenly Fathers pattern--good food for thought--excellent model for us to emulate
