The Happy Hubby and I like to think that our son is a perfect angel when we release him into the world of PreK-2.
He would never do anything disobedient in school like tackle another child to the ground in a wrestling match over a toy.
Not the Happy Buddy.
But, yes, as a born sinner (along with the rest of us!), our precious little one has much to learn in the never-ending quest of ‘dying to self.’
His teacher quietly took us aside last week and informed us of the physical brawl that had occurred between the Happy Buddy and the poor other kid who hadn’t seen it comin’.
You can bet that I have been on my knees praying ever since!
Asking the Lord for wisdom as the Mommy and self-control for the Happy Buddy! 
All that to say, as much as it pained me to hear of the Happy Buddy’s choices, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the way his teacher handled the situation.
She was a true picture of the Gospel – giving the Happy Buddy big, unconditional love hugs – even while her words about his ‘kind-of-a-bummer-of-a-day’ were so freshly spoken.
I’m so glad that the Happy Buddy is surrounded by people who love and accept him in spite of his failures – they see him for who he is – a precious child of the King!
So, I did what any grateful parent would do.
I baked her some brownies. 
Those, Happy Home Friends, are my Aunt Greta’s famous chocolate brownies.
They are seriously uh-maze-ing.
I baked up a batch and then created a little note to include with the treat.
