What I learned the most about this week’s theme was that I can always ask God for forgiveness. What I think about the most about this week’s theme was that God already forgave us when he died on the cross. This week, when I read through the Psalm nothing, stood out to me. This week I stopped to ask God for forgiveness when I was being mean to my little brother. I also stopped to ask God for forgiveness when I was being difficult for my mom.
- With forgiveness comes repentance. To “repent” literally means to change directions. After we ask forgiveness, receiving God’s grace can cause us to want to act differently than before–to repent. Tell a story about a time when you acted differently after asking for forgiveness. OR tell about something that you would like to do differently in order to better reflect God’s love. What happened? How did you feel? Use at least 5 complete sentences.

This week I went on a hike with my family. We decided to go on a trail that was unmarked. We wanted to make our own way to the beach. While we hiked we found a big sand dune and ran down it. On the way back to our car we got lost. Eventually, we found our way back but we were on the totally opposite side of where we had parked.
