Kindness

Kindness (Latin, patientia) (peace, opposes wrath, Latin ira) —
Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Resolving conflicts peacefully, as opposed to resorting to violence. The ability to forgive; to show mercy to sinners.

I have been trying to catch the kids solving a problem together all week, but they have had such a great week that nothing was obvious or I missed it. So I took a picture of the books I use to teach conflict resolution and the ones that have taught me patience. I thought they would improve my parenting and teaching,b ut they imporved ALL my relationships.


I was telling a friend that this was my last virtue picture and he said maybe I should tackle the 7 deadly sins next. Given that is Lent and I am really like the challenge of matching words to pictures I am going to do it. I will post the seven sins and their definitions on Ponderings.
