The Lesson
This week, the Come, Follow Me for Individuals and Families manual asks us to read Matthew 18 and Luke 10. In the Latter Day Parables, May is very upset when she sees that June has colored on her drawing. June says sorry, but May does not want to forgive her. Mom decides to tell May about Peter asking Jesus how many times we should forgive.
After reading the short story to your children, explain to them that Jesus didn’t actually mean that we should forgive only 490 times (70 x 7) but meant that we should always forgive. When we forgive, we no longer hold grudge and choose to be happy instead of angry!
