We've all been there.  You know those moments where you hope no one randomly was about to ring your doorbell.  Those moments we aren't proud of as parents because we acted out of our sinfulness more than out of God's grace.  I've had many moments in my parenting where I realized that I shouldn't have said "that" or used "that" tone....and usually a lot of guilt follows.  

However, what I have learned is that the REPAIR is often more important that what ever was said.  The way we repair with our kids when we have blown it (or they have blown it) is a powerful way for them to understand the love of God for when they mess up too. 

In this episode, I am going to share with you how we have made saying "I'm sorry" a normal thing. I also will share my process for helping my children repent with each other too.  

There's always grace for when we mess up, and our children don't need our perfection.  They need a perfect Savior, and our mess ups are an opportuity to point them to the one who will never fail them. 

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 8:11 “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Our Process:

Listen to the nudge (that’s the Holy Spirit)

Ask for specific forgiveness

Teach eye contact

Go and sin no more
