Signs of Grace in the midst of the chaos.

A little while ago, my 4 yr old DD did something not-so-nice to my 2 yr old DD. Without realizing the consequences, she did something to her that could have hurt her very badly.  After I calmed my little one down, I went to talk to my 4 yr old.  As I explained what she had done to her and gave her her disciplinary consequences for her sin, I saw no remorse.  That is an awful feeling.  I spoke to my DH and he reminded me that this child has shown a sense of remorse before and probably just really didn't realize the gravity of what she had almost done.  I hung up the phone and started to prepare lunch.  My 4 yr old came in withe her lip quivering and told me that she was sorry and that she didn't want to hurt her little sister. She even went on through tears to tell me of how much she loved watching her be silly and dance and that she would never want her to not be here.  I forgave her and she asked me if I would pray with her to ask God to forgive her.  I sat down with her at the table and she prayed a sweet prayer asking God to forgive her for specifically what she had done.  Then, my 2 yr old, the one that had been hurt and had been sitting at her chair at the table too, asked if she could pray.  Her standard prayer is, "Thank you God for Papa", but this time she said, "Deaw God, please FFFGVFGH  M.E. fo pooshin me. AMen"  It was so sweet and such a blessing to me today.  I called my husband and he said that he had taken a few minutes aside to pray for all of us after I had called and that he specifically prayed for Grace to rain on us all.  I would say that we got a shower :)
