I am so glad you were able to put him in the position of giving you grace - I think asking our children to forgive us when we cross a line we didn't want to and know we shouldn't have is so important. I can't tell you how often in the past 11 years of motherhood I have had to ask my boy to forgive me - often explaining that while what he did was wrong, my reaction was just as wrong and I need forgiveness too.<br /><br />God is so good to provide us automatically with the very thing we struggle to give each other!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193460338001013445.post-68152831595235718522011-03-16T21:41:17.365-04:002011-03-16T21:41:17.365-04:00thanks so much for sharing this, amy. for being wi...thanks so much for sharing this, amy. for being willing to speak aloud those moments we've all been at as moms~ <br /><br />grateful for His example of gentle parenting with us.

You have taught your little boy a valuable lesson when you apologized. I believe our children can learn from our mistakes. Blessings to you.

I always felt so awful after getting frustrated with him. This will pass and I am sure he wont hold it against you. Little ones have such tender hearts and forgive and forget so easily. God bless.

It was frustrating, I blamed myself and I felt alone much of the time because all my friends kids had it figured out.

He cannot be spanked, cannot be yelled at, cannot be spoken to harshly without the inner heart sobs that crush a mother's heart. Thank you for this lesson on the grace of God.Liisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12980512952764467942noreply@blogger.com
