Anyone who spends any amount of time with children will tell you that the most teachable moments can happen at the least expected times. One such moment happened while in the car with three of my foster children. As we drove, the inevitable happened and someone's foot strayed a little too far across an imaginary line. Words were exchanged and the conversation ended with the offended party stating "I will never forgive you". Trying my best not to lecture, I took this opportunity to simply share that God forgives all of us for everything and so we should forgive each other. To this, the bystander in the back seat chimed in with "God's the boss!"
Children have the innate ability to turn those teachable moments into learning moments for us all. For this we should treasure each moment we have with them.
