Mercy, as the tender ‘feeling gift’, shows up in loveable, cuddly children. As babies, they smile easily and seem to have a soft, quiet disposition. They have a tendency toward shyness, with a certain clinging tendency toward their parents in early childhood. Loud noises and harsh word easily bring them to tears.

They can give verbal appreciation and possess a freedom orally.
Server Gift for Children
Little servers, like their adult counterparts, have identifiable interests which prepare them for practical and creative ministry. They can become absorbed in play and play alone, particularly when it concerns the use and dexterity of their hands. Smaller children seem to love such things as cars, trucks, craft sets, toy irons, stoves, tea sets, clay, crayons, and the like. Older children go on to enjoy sewing, knitting, electronic and constructions sets, and microscopes.
