Patience

My husband has been working for several days on hundreds of pictures that need to be sorted and then about 150 selected for a slide show. These pictures are from the mission trip I took with our youth from the church to Wisconsin. They're great pictures. My husband has the patience of Job with this project and I have the patience of a gnat! I honestly don't know how he can spend so much time and be so patient. It is a time consuming process. I get impatient just trying to look at them and decide which should go into the slide show. Because the pictures came from four or five different cameras his job is more difficult - with just our camera he can sort the pictures by what day they were taken and they are in order. Because of adding other pictures, he has to painstakingly sort them and place them manually. Technology is great, but I am not so good with using it. I love my laptop and I'd be lost without a computer - I don't handwrite anything - but I don't do well with projects like that one. I did create my first powerpoint presentation a few weeks back and that went well - but it was a simple one with just typed text and no fancy additions. Some day maybe I'll learn - right now I think it's because time is at a minimum with all I have to do, that I just get impatient with the tasks that take a long time. Thank God I have such a wonderful, patient husband who is willing to help with the painstaking tasks! How fortunate am I?
