MARCH 29 BIBLE STORY SUMMARY
In Luke 15:21-32, we pick up the story of the Lost Son we started last week (March 22). His father and older brother each responded to the Prodigal Son differently. The Father welcomed him home with open arms and threw a giant party for him. The Older Brother chose not to forgive and become angry with his brother. He not only missed out on a party, but also missed out on rebuilding a relationship with his brother. That's why our Bottom Line or "takeaway" from this story is: When you don’t forgive, you miss out. When we choose not to forgive others, we could miss out on rebuilding a broken relationship. We might miss out on friendships or new, fun memories with our family, or peace in our own hearts. We could also miss out on the joy that God can give us when we choose to show forgiveness.

FOR PARENTS:

"A SAFE PLACE TO LAND"  By Sarah Bragg
When we give our kids our presence, we are choosing to be a gentle place for them to land. Because here’s what I know to be true: You can’t multitask presence. You can’t be thinking about your agenda while trying to comfort a child. It never works well. You can’t prevent your children from feeling disappointed, sad, embarrassed, or exhausted; but you can show up in those moments and be fully present, and safe . . .

DISCUSSION TOPIC:
Read this month's memory verse:  "Put up with one another. Forgive one another if you are holding something against someone. Forgive, just as the Lord forgave you." COLOSSIANS 3:13, NIrV
​
Talk about this with your child before bed time:  It's true that forgiveness is hard. But forgiving someone isn't just about them, it's about you, too! When you forgive, you can have peace. Forgiveness sets both you and the other person free. Are you missing out on something right now that you could change through forgiveness? Pray that God would show you any place in your life where you're holding onto anger and help you forgive.
