It never ceases to amaze me that God can use the smallest, mundane conversations to tune our hearts and ears to Him. This conversation brought my mind back to a point from our recent Sunday School lesson.
Rockstar: "Can I go get some crackers?"
Me: "No, I'm almost finished fixing lunch."
Rockstar: "You mean dinner."
Me: "Yes."
Rockstar: "Sometimes you grown-ups get it wrong."
Yes, Rockstar sometimes we get it wrong.
People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:13-14
So true. I think part of being a good parent is admitting to your kids when you are wrong. It demonstrates humility and sets a wonderful example for them to follow.
