They play with the rule that the tax money goes in the middle like the Community chest - it is gained by those who recieve the mercy of free parking.

Advance to Go $200

Roll 4 and land on income tax

Out of her poverty

3) The Choice 10% Or $200

Assess your blessings

Thanks from the Heart or mouth

4) Who Wins?

Spare change or all of you?

Mercy doesn’t make sense

It doesn’t win the game, but it does win

If we give in proportion to the mercy shown to us by Jesus we are overwhelmed and no amount will do.

What will you give? What will you do with mercy? How will you show your thanks to Christ who is merciful? Now that you have landed on this space, your opportunity to give, what will you choose?
