0:00.0	Girlfriends, episode number 169. Easy ways to practice mercy at Easter.
0:09.3	Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a
0:15.3	mission to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in family living.
0:21.6	This week we're talking about easy ways to practice mercy.
0:24.7	You know it's almost divine mercy Sunday at Easter time.
0:28.2	Let's get started.
0:32.9	Hey, girlfriends. Welcome. Glad you're here. Happy Easter. It feels like a scandal for me to say that right now because I'm recording it's not Easter yet. But by the time you hear this, it will be. So happy Easter. I hope you've had a joyful celebration with family that you can make last for 50 days,
0:58.0	right? We've talked about this before. Easter lasts for 50 days. So spread out the fun,

1:39.3	spreading out the fun kind of made things more exhausting. And my. in recent years has been like, your birthday is on your
1:46.8	birthday. And everything happens that day. And then that's it. So these are methods of survival that
1:54.0	you learn when you're raising a larger than average size family. Some people are way into the whole
1:58.6	birthday party things. So I'm going on an aside before I even dive into this week's topic.
2:03.2	But I've heard from moms not too long ago who were discussing on Facebook and then they sent
2:09.5	me a question about kids' birthdays.
2:12.6	And I think maybe we took this up one time.
