Becca, I still feel sick to my stomach when I think about standing on their porch! God hands us babies as antidotes to pride, I think. :)

Oh no! I've done the same thing... It's awful, isn't it??

Missy, "the humble walk" is one that I'm getting accustomed to, but not one that I ever enjoy! Thanks for sharing.

Shannon I have stood in your shoes on this one except I lost my temper with the offenders and told them that they could not play with my "harmed" child any longer. After wiping away tears and brushing a little dirt off his face and taking the time to listen rather than react, I learned that Joe was just given a taste of his own medicine. He had been doing the same thing to the other children and they asked him to stop several times and finally one child, just gave it back, and good!

Like yourself, I took the humble walk with my son's hand in mine to the different doorsteps of the children I had quickly branded as horrible children. We BOTH apologized to the other kids and well, it was a great lesson for both Joey and I. Thank you so much for this today. I hope to read your blog with Joey tonight and discuss the Biblical perspective our shared experience!
