The Bible Says:
- "Bear with each other and
forgive whatever grievances you may
- have against one another. Forgive
as the Lord forgave you."
Colossians 3:13

Repair and Renew!
When others mistreat you it's easy to get
more upset than you need to be. Stay calm and tell God how you
feel. Praying and asking God to comfort you and understand why
people are sometimes unkind will help you to see the misdeed
in a different way. Try to look at the bright side. See what
good you can make of it. Maybe you can learn how to repair something.
Even a friendship can be saved when we practice forgiveness.
You may learn more about why you should share God's love with
others. God will help repair your damaged heart and renew a happy
spirit within you.
It is very important we learn how to forgive.
God forgives and forgets our misdeeds. We forget that we hurt
God when we sin in any way. His love is unconditional for us.
He does not get angry and turn His back on us. He understands
and leads us back to doing what is right. Staying mad at someone
will only cause pain in our hearts. This can make us to be bitter
inside and hurt us in many ways. The Bible says to be quick to
forgive others. Jesus forgave us quickly; we need to do the same
for ourselves and others.
Gramma's Critters have learned a new lesson
this week. She is helping them see that things are not so bad.
Even though her Den was ransacked, she will look on the bright
side. She is happy the Critters cleaned her Den. She has shown
them how to mend what is broken. A few stitches on her favorite
chair makes it almost good as new. Some glue to the teapot and
cups and they will again be used for visitors to the Den. Gramma
Cherbear knows life is too wonderful to spend time being angry
over the misdeeds of others.
It is good to learn how to make good from
bad. Looking to see what we can do to make things better will
help our hearts to heal. Keeping our minds fixed on good will
keep us happy and healthy too! When you feel yourself getting
red hot with anger, remember to talk to God about the problem.
Ask Him to show you what is good! It may be your time to show
someone else the right way to act. When we forgive and forget
we teach others about God's grace.
