Not Cute

Every now and then our kids do things that remind us about the principle of grace. Today Blaine was sent home from preschool with a note from his principal saying that he punched another boy in the face, giving him a bloody nose. Not cute. Not cute at all. What is crazy about it is that this is completely out of character for him to do. However, it reminds me that we are all sinful little creatures and even if I didn't punch someone in the face today, I haven't been perfect either. After we finish disciplining Blaine, we will forgive him and move on. It's great to know that our Heavenly Father also is quick to forgive and help restore us.
