Do you have a grace- filled home?  Most of the time, I’d have to admit …the answer is “no”!

A biblical definition of grace is this:  God’s undeserved favor and forgiveness when we’ve chosen to do the unforgivable.  In human terms… it’s the love and kindness and forgiveness you show your teen in the face of bad behavior or poor choices.

Grace isn’t easy to give.  It’s not cheap.  In fact, it costs a lot!  But we’re called to be the hands and feet of God.  So… that means we’re called to offer grace, even when we’re dealing with a rebellious teen.

And how do you know exactly the right time to extend grace?  How ‘bout when it’s least deserved?
