Our children are not short
Dalai Lamas.
They are short sinners.
We are not saying
what’s really going on.

I long for perfection. Anxiety is my
drug of choice. And I want people to
see only the version of my mess that is
quaint enough to post on Facebook.
Neither one is authentic to our
struggles. And neither one really
acknowledges our sin. And, of
course, they offer us no Grace.
Away We Go
“All we can do is be good for this
one baby, we don’t have control
over much else.”
We are only saved by
Grace upon Grace.
What does parenting
with Grace mean?
Reminders of Grace aren’t really about me
reflecting on the sins of my kids, instead, I
think it means as I parent I am forced to be
honest about my own sins in front of them.
Parenting with Grace
•Say you are sorry
•Ask for forgiveness
•Tell them the story
Parenting with Grace

We do yelling.
We do poop.
We do tired.
And God’s Grace covers us anyway.

“So when the devil throws your sins in your face and
declares that you deserve death and hell, tell him this:
I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I
know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my
behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where
He is there I shall be also!”
― Martin Luther
Give up trying so hard.
You can’t really do anything.
Because I have done it all.
I brought you Grace upon Grace.
