Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32

 I subscribe to several Children’s Ministry blogs in an effort to glean ideas from others.  The other day, I read an illustration that stuck with me.  “How many of the pencils in your Kids ministry have erasers that have been broken off or are no longer usable?  Kids should always have eraser tops.  They should always know that mistakes will be made, but there is always an opportunity to erase them, just as God forgives us of our sins if we confess and ask for forgiveness.  His love won’t run out!”

Something to ponder, and yes, I have a whole bag of eraser tops, all ready to go.  : )
