From Brooke:
Tedd and Marge Pripp in their latest book, Instructing a Child's Heart , say "We give our children big truths they will grow into rather than light explanations they will grow out of."
Brooke Agrees and goes on to say
"That's why from the very beginning I've tried to teach my boys the difference between saying, "I'm sorry" and "Please forgive me"
The simple profound difference between the two lies in the person's intent. When someone wounds me, inflicts pain, or generally does something that affects me adversely, it's either done on purpose or it isn't."
I'm sorry is allowed when the result of their behavior was an accident.
"Forgive me is used when one has deliberately sinned against another.
Teaching this difference helps them understand the difference in behavior and in sin.
Praying for you all at we begin to come to an end in this journey.

Day 18 - Anger
We are beginning the next section called When Hearts Soften
Brooke shares a wonderful story about her boys in the beginning of this section and it sheds like on where I am right now. Nick asked about being Baptised the other day. I asked him if he knew what it means. And honestly He said no. So together we watched our church's video for kids on Baptism and talked about it for a few minutes. He says he understands and can answer my questions but I still have a check in my heart...I don't think he does. I think he wants to do it because he saw how emotional I got when one of his friends did it. There does not seem to be a heart connection to it at this moment. So for now we are holding off. And I am praying for the Heart Change and for Jesus to lead the way not me and my emotions.
Today we begin praying about Anger. I pray that God is using this in mighty ways for you all and that your son's heart softens, along with your heart change!
Blessings My Friends!
