The Prodigal Son-God as a Forgiving Parent

Have you ever forgiven a friend or relative?  Or has someone forgiven you?  One image of God is that of a forgiving parent.  God will forgive you for your sins or mistakes, just as the prodigal son was forgiven in a famous story that Jesus tells. 
The kids learned the story of the prodigal son, then depicted the story in a mural which is hung up in the classroom. Come in and look at it some time.
