Thirty-some years ago, my hubby Michael reported our machine stolen. He couldn't believe mortal had taken it from his workplace parking lot.
That same day, our immature boy lost his soccer ball together with Michael gave him a fatherly lecture almost responsibility.
Several days later, on his agency to work, Michael discovered our machine inwards an overflow parking lot where (for the outset fourth dimension ever) he'd parked it the solar daytime he'd reported it missing.
We await dorsum at that error together with laugh, precisely it wasn't together with thence funny at the time. My hubby was embarrassed together with humbled.
To brand things to a greater extent than ironic, nosotros institute our son's soccer ball inwards the car.
My hubby notified the police pull of his error. Then he humbly sat downwardly amongst our boy together with admitted he'd been the i at fault.
I suppose about men mightiness induce got tossed the soccer ball inwards the nearest trash tin instead of admitting their error to their son, precisely they'd induce got been the losers.
Integrity isn't almost saving face. It's almost facing sins together with mistakes honestly (1 John 1:8-10). I believe my hubby taught our boy a valuable lesson almost confession together with responsibility.
"Whoever conceals their sins does non prosper, precisely the i who confesses together with renounces them finds mercy." Proverbs 28:13
