"Momma, I had mercy on Jane." Jack tiptoes into my room.
I sigh and rub the short night of sleep from my eyes. "You did?" He nods. "I'm so proud of you."
Jane shrugs, "And I whispered in his ear, 'I love you. I'm almost to cry I love you so much,'" she says.
I toss my feet out of bed and the whole morning cascades like a symphony into motion, perfectly in tune. The gift of grace.

Just lovely. Makes me think of lots of nice girl names, but most have 5 letters. Mercy, grace, faith, hope. All things you write about beautifully!
Oh Bethany, what beautiful children you have with the most gentle and kind hearts... how did you do it?
I know, once again... grace.
Isn't anyone else curious about what the mercy covered?
I love reading your blogs! Lately, I have been learning and reading and praying about grace, and how to extend it. So often we can learn these "simple" things from children! Thanks for sharing
