Lesson One - Warm Up

Tell about a time when someone (a parent, teacher, or friend) treated you with grace instead of treating you as your behavior deserved.

I had a history teacher in middle school. She caught me writing down answers on my desk before the test. She brought me over some Windex and a paper towel and said "I think your desk could use a cleaning before I pass out the test."

She could have made an example of me. She could have chosen to embarrass me in front of the class. She could have sent me to the principal or given me detention. All these things I deserved - but instead, she treated me with mercy and gave me a clean slate... Grace.
