Claire has a friend at school that she loves to get crazy with. They have gotten in trouble for talking instead of doing their school work.
One day they went to the restroom together and decided not to go back to class. They were screaming with glee , and went locking all the stalls and crawling out from under them. When they were finally retrieved from the stalls and got a talking to, their punishment was that they would never get to go to the restroom together for the rest of the school year, and they were put at separate tables.
That evening Nathan had a long talk with her and ended it with saying, "You know what? I love you no matter what you do." Claire smiled so big and said, "I know! That's what I told myself all day at school when I would start to worry. I knew you would still love me."
I'm grateful that our girls have a Daddy who understands what is most important in communicating the gospel to them. That they can't do anything to stop our love for them and that Christ's love isn't dependent upon our own righteousness.

Oh! this is a beautiful story! It made me cry, and smile when I read Claire's response.
Your girls are so blessed to live in a loving and secure environment and to be living and breathing the gospel every day. That really sounds like something you and Ange would have done together.
that is sweet.
