00:00:08,165 --> 00:00:09,565
Speaker 1: Life Audio.

2
00:00:12,205 --> 00:00:15,845
Speaker 2: From the Salvation Army Welcome to Heartbeat.

3
00:00:18,245 --> 00:00:21,325
Speaker 1: Part of being a toddler means learning right from wrong.

4
00:00:21,805 --> 00:00:24,325
Speaker 1: And at first they don't even try to hide it.

5
00:00:24,605 --> 00:00:26,685
Speaker 1: They'll look you right in the eyes as they throw

6
00:00:26,724 --> 00:00:29,645
Speaker 1: their broccoli over and over again. But give it a

7
00:00:29,685 --> 00:00:34,285
Speaker 1: little time and things change. Suddenly those vegetables quietly disappear

8
00:00:34,445 --> 00:00:36,925
Speaker 1: under the table, and when you ask about it, you

9
00:00:37,045 --> 00:00:42,085
Speaker 1: get that look, the quiet pause, the guilty face. It's funny,

10
00:00:42,325 --> 00:00:44,925
Speaker 1: but it also says something deeper about us. We all

11
00:00:45,005 --> 00:00:48,125
Speaker 1: learned to hide, to cover up, to pretend we didn't

12
00:00:48,125 --> 00:00:50,764
Speaker 1: do what we did. And that's where grace comes in.

13
00:00:51,284 --> 00:00:54,125
Speaker 1: As parents were called to reflect both truth and love.

14
00:00:54,565 --> 00:00:57,885
Speaker 1: There are consequences, yes, but there is also mercy. And

15
00:00:57,965 --> 00:00:59,965
Speaker 1: thank God he doesn't punish us for what we try

16
00:01:00,005 --> 00:01:02,205
Speaker 1: to hide. He meets us there with grace.
