Last week I was easily frustrated when it came to the kids. After I'd sin, I would ask Rock (and the Lord) to forgive me (we have him ask for forgiveness towards us when he disobeys), and of course he would happily extend the forgiveness. I once asked Rock, in front of PJ, just so he'd know what I was struggling with that day, since Rock, who easily forgave, wasn't a peer who'd keep me accountable. During these times, I was reminded of the necessity for this to continue in our home. PJ, and I will make plenty of sinful mistakes towards our children, and we will need to ask them for forgivness, and have them see our vulnerable side--the parts of our lives that are not sanctified--our stuggles. PJ and I, don't want our pride to be a cause for them to see hypocracy (although we will fail here too!) and see Christ as a joke, or less than what he really is. It's a challenge to follow Christ, but oh what joy!
