"Parenting is hard. But as I've learned, it is hard for a reason. God is in the process of making all things new, including our hearts. He is pruning, weeding, and tilling the soil in our hearts to make us increasingly like Christ. Once day, his work will be complete, and we'll see the breathtaking result of his refining work in us. The weeds will be gone, and our sin will be no more.
That day when I came face to face with my sins at the dinner table, I count it as grace. For it is God's gracious love that desires to rid me of the sins.... And after after my son prayed, I asked him for grace and forgiveness for my impatience that day. Reminding him that I am a sinner just as he is, I used the opportunity to point him to the grace of Christ who bore all our sins on the cross." (Italics mine)
