Activity
Sometime this week, share your story of mercy with your kids. The story of how God captured your heart, opened your eyes to see your need for Him, and how He revealed His love for you. Tell them how God showed you mercy in His pursuit of you. Be specific with them about when you asked for God’s mercy in your life and how He was faithful to give it. Remember that stories are highly impactful, and your kids will love hearing your story and your confidence in the Lord!
