[CS-FSLUG] TD: CS-BibleStudy: Hosea 2

[Josiah Ritchie]

"Ice Breaker Question: God seems to tell the people of Israel of a time 
of reconciliation after punishment. Growing up, did your parents talk  
about a time of forgiveness after your punishment? Would that have made 
you feel better than just receiving punishment, or would it have simply 
made things worse realizing what will be but only after you receive  
punishment?"

I'm going just hit the ice breaker now and maybe come back for the rest
later...

My parents did talk about forgiveness, but what I really remember more
is that they lived it. We new what it was to lose and regain the trust
of our parents by their actions and I'm more responsible for having gone
through it. I think I also better understand the role of authority (done
God's way). That isn't to say that my parents did it all right, but they
also let me know what they did wrong and asked forgiveness.
