Instructions

“I wish I hadn’t …”  “I’m sorry…”“I didn’t mean to …” Sometimes other people say and do things that hurt us.

Has anyone hurt you? Are you feeling hurt? We have a choice to forgive others. Christians believe they can ask God to help them forgive others.

  • If you’d like to, you can think of something you’d like to say sorry for or forgive someone else for.
  • Use a pen to write the word ‘sorry’ on a piece of paper.
  • As you dip this into the water and watch it disappear, think about how it feels to forgive.
