May. 5, 2008 - Mondays On Mothering -- Sharing God's Grace

Sharing God's Grace

Sometimes, our children do things that deserve punishment don't they? Last week one of my children forgot to clean the bathrooms during the week, which is this child's one job for pay. The "rule" is that this child has to clean them before Saturday or she cleans them on Saturday for no pay. Well, Saturday came and went and this child did not do the bathrooms. As Sunday afternoon was waning, I mentioned this to my husband and said something about sending this child to go clean them. He decided a bit of grace was in order. The child forgot, Saturday has passed and we didn't make sure the child did it Saturday; time for grace. I was certainly afraid that this child would then decide this week not to do the bathrooms during the week again; since we didn't enforce the rule. However, when Thursday came; the task was completed without complaint. I am so glad! I love being able to share grace with my children as an example of God's grace in our lives. It is such a relief to know that he will not be delivering the punishment we so grievously deserve, isn't it? And, with a little bit of grace in our parenting; our children can experience a small taste of that grace before they have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Sometimes it is hard to extend grace, but I always try to remember that I didn't deserve grace either!
Beautiful example.

About Me

The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
