Anticipation

Over the past two weeks I have constructed a "carpetball" table for camp. It's a simple game of rolling a cue ball down a table trying to knock your opponents balls off the table before they knock all of yours off!

This week I was building with lots of kids around and I was asked over and over again, "What are you making?". I would explain and tell them when it would be ready. It was completed yesterday and the line of kids to play was huge.

Apparently, just watching the game come together before their eyes help build anticipation so much that they couldn't wait to play. Is it any different for us? Our eyes become full of something we desire and we cannot wait to have it!

Patience may be a virtue, but I can guarantee that patience is not easy!
