Grace
is a word that comes from the Latin gratia. It means to be grateful and
thankful. Out of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all,
giving us one blessing after another.
When we look at our children, we are looking at God's most generous
endowment. They upstage any divine grace He gives. Before they were ours, they were His. Even as they are ours, they are still His.
There is no perfect example of grace than parenting. While
grace comes with love and forgiveness, it also give parents plenty of
room to encourage their children to pursue repentance.
Each time a parent prays, Christ responds.
