So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."
Luke 17:3-4
These verses are a great parenting tool! If you are trying to teach forgiveness, you can't just say, "Jesus told us to forgive!" You need to show them that Jesus was a real person and that He had people mistreat him, but He forgave them. (Even if the person was Peggey) You have to teach them to forgive continually (seven times a day), even when they don't want to.
