STOP!!!

I heard a story about a woman who thought she was TMing her husband and accidentally TMed her boss. Wouldn’t have been so bad if the TM wasn’t about her boss. This is a life lesson. Stop complaining. You never know who might be listening or in this case, who you are TMing.

Why do we [Adults] not think this way? Or do we?

On the way home from school, Anthony shared with me the troubles that one of his classmate is having. Knowing that my son is familiar with this, I offered him my suggestions on how to befriend and help this classmate through these hard times.

I asked Anthony how he got over his hard times. He said to me, he stopped being mean because he did not want to go to hell. He said that he felt God would not be happy with him being mean. So his brain told him to stop.

I can testify to this. He truly stopped being mean almost instantly. I get chills thinking about what he said. This came from the mouth of my 7 year old who fought his way to the top of his kindergarten class, but by the end of first grade, was given the Character Counts award. This award rewards the students who display trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.

He earned this title of Good Character, all because Anthony knew his actions were not pleasing to God and that he must change.
