King David had a war going on in his home. Has this ever happened in your home? With tears in your eyes you say, “Oh Mom, “you know that antique lamp Dad got you on your anniversary? Well, my back-flip flopped and I flipped it right off on the floor. Mom, I am so sorry. I feel so bad inside. Will you forgive me?” Even Mom had tears in her eyes as she said, “I forgive you.” Days later you call, “Mom! Mom! Come quick! Look at my room! Your little son, my bratty brother, did it again! My things are all over the floor! My rocket Lego I have been working on for months is in a million pieces! I know what is going to be in a million pieces. Wait till I get my hands on that little rat of a brother! I’m going to pinch his head off! I’m going to...” Mom said, “Stop! Did I forgive you for breaking my lamp?” Wow! You just noticed your anger went away. It was easier to forgive when you remembered how Mom forgave you. This is like what King David did in the stories this week. God forgave David when he messed up big time and now David must forgive his sons even though they do mean things to him. The way King David forgave his sons is the way God forgives us. God forgives over and over again when we do wrong. When we remember this, it is easier to forgive others when they hurt us. Try to count the number of times you notice that King David has a forgiving heart. Happy Counting!! GO-GO-GO!!!
