QuoteI thought there was an earthquake in the living room and things were falling off the shelves. I ran over and realized there were people banging on our front door at 10pm. ?Is this a joke?? I thought. Then we noticed the glass on our door was broken, and I was pissed. Adrenaline surging, we confronted a group of college kids carrying beers on our porch.

?Did you just break our window?!? They had ?Oh, crap? written all over their faces as they realized that (though our house has some pretty amazing party lights) they were not at the party house they thought.

?Was it you?!? I demanded. I was ready to hunt these kids down cuz ain?t nobody gonna be busting windows on my house where I have sleeping kids.

And then my husband did it. He broke their petrified silence by declaring, ?You?re not in trouble! And I?m not going to make you pay for the window. All I ask is that you come to church.?

I was immediately humbled by his graciousness. And these kids were humbled, too. They were bewildered and humbled. They shook hands with my husband and told him their names. They said they would come. He?s always on mission and that?s why I married him. And of course this is the right thing to do. Because that?s what Jesus did for us. He didn?t make us pay for everything we busted up. He paid the bill and became friends with us.
