Day #29

Today I am grateful 

for the power of forgiveness.

Today I was taught a very valuable lesson

by a 3 year old.

I am one of the nursery leaders

for our ward on Sundays

and conveniently Parker is in there

with me until the end of the year.

Well, there was one particular

3 year old boy 

who happened to slam Parker's hand

into one of the toys he was playing with

and they were fighting over it.

I made sure to break it up

and have the other boy say his sorry.

Well, later this evening,

I got a phone call from his mother

informing me that her son told

her what happened in nursery today.

She asked if they could come

over and apologize to Parker.

They did come over

and a little 3 year old gave

a sincere apology for

what he did to Parker.

It was the sweetest thing

and I was reminded that a simple

apology for our wrong

doings can truly make a difference.

We are not all perfect

but we are given the chance

through the atonement

to say our sorry and

work towards being a better person,

even a 3 year old.
