You know some of the situation with myself and D17 and how she has reacted to my sitch with DH. My mom and I have both had conversations with her about forgiveness. Do you know when I think she really got why I am willing to work things out with DH???? Last night when the three of us watched "Fireproof". She was crying watching the movie and I heard her say, under her breath, "that's why." Of course, when there are small children, you add another layer of why you want things to work out. None of us want to see our children's lives broken because an adult cannot step up to the plate and do the hard work.
What would I be teaching my daughter if I took back her dad??? I would show her that marriage vows are a covenant before God, not to be given up on and walking away from. I would be showing her that God's grace and mercy are sufficient to meet all our needs in life. I would be demonstrating in a real way, the unconditional love and forgiveness that Jesus has afforded us by taking the Cross. How can we, as Christians, do no less for those who have hurt us? And, finally, I would be showing her that with God, all things are possible.
