I behaved badly over the weekend. Had my kids acted up the way I did when they were younger, I totally would have given them a timeout. Actually, the timeout wasn't in fashion yet when I had kids, so let's just say the rod would NOT have been spared on me.I'm so thankful for a Heavenly Father who doesn't treat me as I deserve. His mercy and grace continue to overwhelm me.
And when my earthly relationships (like my husband) extend forgiveness when they don't have to ... well, that just reinforces God's love for me even more.
Lord, help me to not act like a spoiled child. Help me to extend your mercy, grace, and love to others ... so that they might somehow catch a glimpse of You. Amen.
