That is so wonderful! It can be harder for us adults to ask for forgiveness, but we still need to do it.

Forgiveness is a concept people struggle with everyday… if only adults could have the heart of a child… the world would be better off….teaching children early on about forgiveness is a so important… it will make them better people and happier too…. thanks for a great post.

Amazing what lessons we can learn (or be reminded of) through the innocent and forgiving eyes of a child. Thank you and the girls for this reminder!

Yes, we too have taught our kids to apologize and also to say what they are sorry for while looking the other in the eye and then to seek forgiveness. I also think it is important for them to apologize to us as well. And in that same token, I have had to seek forgiveness from my children as well. Sometimes my kids aren’t so eager to forgive. We then talk about how God has forgiven us for our sins and we need to be willing to forgive as well.

this is such a sweet story, and a good reminder.

I think too, that the word “forgive” is so much more deeper than “sorry”, and we made a decision when mine were very young to require them to use the words…”will you forgive me”, instead of “I’m sorry” or the more likely heard “sorry” – it is much deeper, bringing the offender face to face with the fact that they are in the wrong. Funny, as adults, it’s hard to use those words too! Try it, next time you are about to give a simple “I’m sorry”, ask for forgiveness- it’s hard at first.

I’ve found that being a parent has caused me to re=examine what we do and why.

This is such an important lesson for us all to remember! Something we’ve been working on with our kids too is teaching them that whether someone else says that they are sorry or not, God wants us to forgive them anyway. That’s a really hard one!

What a wonderful lesson for all of us!
I could definitely spend a little more time with Austin on apologies.

(P.S. I love Little House on the Prairie. I have memories of watching it with my mom. I could probably quote the episodes. Wonderful show!)
