Salt: mercy

Today on our Salt challenge blog it's Esther's turn to choose the topic, which is 'mercy' - you can read what she has to say here.

Our God is very merciful, but scripture encourages us to be merciful too, which, of course, includes forgiveness. I am greatly challenged by the parable of the unmerciful servant that is recorded in Matthew 18 - you can read it here, which is why in my LO I have incorporated the two elements of God's mercy to us, but also our merciful attitude to others.

I chose the monochrome look for my LO, using simple card, printing from the computer. 'Soften my heart' is a worship song written by Graham Kendrick.

The words on the LO can clearly be read if you click on the picture.

  5. I can see why you found this one difficult to tackle but you did a great job, keeping to a mono scheme worked really well with the angle of the current events you've chosen to represent - gives it a journalistic feel.
