Race to the Cross. See who can get there first.
In our daily lives, sometimes we teach our children, sometimes our children teach us.
It's human nature to want to win.
I often say to our children, "Little FECS, say sorry to your little sister and forgive her. Baby FECS, say sorry to your big brother and forgive him. Let's make a competition. Let's see who can be the first one to say sorry. The first person who says sorry wins."
The other day, Daddy FECS and I had a disagreement over some matter. While I was putting Baby FECS to bed, she said to me (in Mandarin), "Mommy forgives Daddy. Daddy forgives Mommy. Let's make a competition. The one who says I am sorry first wins." 😂
Dear Lord, may You help us to challenge each other to race to the Cross, and see who can get there first. May we win at having a heart of humility. That we may walk our talk, and talk our walk at home.
The Bible says:
"Outdo one another in showing honor." - Romans 12:10
Chinese Translation:
在日常生活中，有时候是大人教小孩，有时候是小孩教大人。
人的本性就是想赢。
我经常跟大儿子和小女儿说哥哥要原谅妹妹，妹妹要原谅哥哥。你们比赛一下，看谁先说：“对不起，请你原谅我”，谁就赢了。
几天前我和先生对某事的看法有点意见不齐。临睡前小女儿对我说：”妈妈要原谅爸爸，爸爸要原谅妈妈。你们比赛一下，看谁先说对不起，请你原谅我，谁就赢了。”😂
主，请你给我们家每一个成员赢在有一个谦卑的心。
