Grace for kids
June 23rd, 2008
I was sitting in my lounge room this morning and my youngest started reading the titles of books in our bookshelf. She came to Philip Yancey’s book “What’s so amazing about grace?” and asked what grace was. My first thought was I have just woken up, can I have an easier question!
After some thought I spoke to her about the times when we are naughty and we don’t listen to God and do what He wants. The times when we want to do our own thing. She nodded. I said even though we are like that, God still loves us and reaches out to us and wants to be our friend and give us another chance. I said that is grace.
Her answer melted me. She said, “I love God, it is cool that He loves us and gives us another chance…even when we don’t deserve it”.
It is awesome being a parent and passing on your faith to your kids
