“His decisions were always made in kindness and love and with the widest latitude of mercy that the circumstances could justify. It was not uncommon for him to say on learning the circumstances of an aggravated case, ‘Why don’t people behave themselves?’ This was not said accusingly or by way of condemnation but with sadness and regret.”
I wonder if that attitude would serve us well as parents, in all the disciplining we do in our home. Surely this applies in our home with our own spouses and children as it applies anywhere else. Could we perhaps be a little more lenient with our children?
