Parenting seems to be a hot topic. My daughter, Trinity Chism joins me this week. We talk about perspectives and parent-child relationships.

No one wants to be hurt or offended. Sitting in unforgiveness can and will make you sour. We can choose to forgive. We can choose to be offended. I think it's better to choose grace, especially to yourself.
