Deja vu all over again

I taught my daughter's Sunday School class yesterday and during the group lesson the leader's message started to sound very familiar. She had all the children work in groups - they were given a tube of toothpaste, a bowl and a spoon. They each took turns squeezing the toothpaste into the bowl and then they each needed to try and put the toothpaste back into tube with the spoon. (It was a little too ooey, gooey and messy for me... ) The analogy was the toothpaste coming out so easy represented how easy we say or do mean things without thinking and how hard it was to put the toothpaste back in the tube represented how difficult it is to take things back and make things how they were before. It was the perfect visual that my last blog post needed. It was deja vu all over again... (one of my husbands favorite quotes...)
