Welcome to the Woodies Kids blog.
this week are thinking about…
saying sorry
Today we are thinking about saying sorry and being forgiven.
Even though it’s not always easy, when we do something wrong it’s important to
say sorry, and Jesus will always forgive us! In the Cheeky Panda treehouse, Benji is
enjoying his favourite pizza and leaves one slice in a labelled box in the fridge to enjoy later. CJ finds the slice and eats it, and learns that it's important to say sorry, just as the woman said sorry to Jesus in the bible.
When was the last time you said 'sorry'? Saying ‘sorry’ can often be one of the hardest things to say. In today's, Elle reflects on when she’s upset someone or has disappointed God, she feels like she has let people down. Elle notes pride as something that gets in the way of her saying sorry to other people, or to God. We need to say sorry when we’re in the wrong – breakthrough and freedom comes, when we say sorry.
I wonder why we find it so hard to say sorry? Vote on the top reason:
1) I don’t like being wrong
2) I am scared I might get punished
3) I feel guilty if I own up
4) It is easier to say “It wasn’t me”
5) No one really knows that I did it anyway so it doesn’t matter.
