**Gracieland Table Talk for “Mom’s Facebook Issues”**

*We would like to encourage you to share a family meal and Gracieland together.  Each week we will be posting some discussion starters that you can share with your family.  Share the webstrip with your kids, grab a plate, pull up a chair, and talk.*

Ask your child:

Do you know what a Spiritual Work of Mercy is?

Explain that is takes many forms including: teaching others about God, giving advice, correcting people who are confused about God, forgiving others, comforting those that are hurting and praying for people.

How is Gracie’s mom trying to help others?

What can you do to help someone?  What can we do as a family?
