Have you ever found yourself yelling, "Stop yelling at each other!" or responding to your child's snarky comment with some snarkiness of your own? I know that I have. Sometimes I stand there wondering who is more the child, them or me! Paul's words to the Jewish believers in Romans 2 really challenged me in this--to beware of the trap of judgement, but also to remember that we are all in need of Jesus. Our kids as well as ourselves. And because of that shared need, we can respond to and even correct our children with humility and grace.
