Modeling Sin and Repentance

Today, I heard my son reciting nearly word for word a library book we hadn't read in a week. He remembers so much of what I say. I am saddened to think of all the outbursts over his sister's crying that he has witnessed in the past few weeks.

This is a good reminder to watch my tongue, and to own my tendency towards unholy anger. I am encouraged that modeling repentance is a great good we can accomplish for our children, since I surely have many opportunities to live by example.
