The strangest thing happened tonight....

My husband went upstairs to check on the kids tonight and the strangest thing happened. Merrily and Cassidy came into our room and he asked them what they were doing. They replied they were here for their spanking. He looked at them like "what for?" to which they told him one had been up in the other's bed. He thought wow, what do I do with this? Thinking quickly, he told them he would show them some mercy and they could just get back to bed. They persisted and insisted by stating that he was supposed to spank them for their discipline. Well, he had to comply to our own rules, right? I just thought it amazing that they knew in their hearts what was wrong, admitted it and were willing to face the consequences. Maybe we are doing something right! Thank you Jesus!

WOW!
good job, dad, though for trying to show them grace, even though they didn't receive it.
that is how our kids will come to understand God's grace.
Good job!!!!
