I'm sorry - God's grace

Hey Guys - so I'm currently flying back from Chicago.  I've been out here for a few days for work.  You have been in great hands with your Dad (and a little help from Hannah with all the directions our family moves in during a weeks time).

I want to be honest with you tonight.  I'm sorry.  I'm sorry for the times I yell when I should listen.  I'm sorry for the times I yell when I should hug and kiss you.  The truth is - we are all imperfect.  It's easy for me to point out your imperfections but I must be honest about mine as well.  I'm imperfect when I don't handle myself appropriately.  The GOOD news... we aren't alone in this journey called life.  We have a forgiving God who works to change us and to even use our mistakes for the good.  In John 16:33 Jesus tells us that we'll have tribulations.  He never promises us a perfect life.  My prayer today is that we can both learn from my mistakes and your mistakes together.  We are all born sinners and will sin as long as we live on Earth but if we learn and repent our sins then we are living as God has called us.  He is training us to be his army, to go out and minister to the lost.  That's pretty exciting when you think about it!!

So today, I'm asking for your forgiveness.  I can't promise I'll never yell again but I can promise that when I do I'll go to God and ask for his strength and wisdom.

I love you both more than you'll ever know.  You'll make mistakes in the future - big and small but through it all, I'll love you (even when I'm yelling or hurt or upset) and so will God!!

God's grace is amazing!!  Don't ever forget that.
