Tristan told me this morning he didn't want to go to school today, because he said he he no friends and his little face just looked crushed and he started to cry. My heart broke- no parent likes to see those child hurt.
I know Tristan has friends, but sometime kids can be hurtful- my son included. Today, my prayer is for our littles to have kind words and actions towards others and that others would have kind words and actions towards them. Kids don't always get along, I get that, they don't even have to like each other. That's ok too. But what they do need to do is be respectful no matter what. Teaching children to turn the other cheek is also not an easy task. It's a difficult concept for adults to understand! But it's not impossible. Ultimately, it comes down to loving one another.
Lord, I pray today for our little guys to be loved and accepted by others and reciprocate the same love and acceptance. I pray that our kids have good day at school or at home- where ever they may be. May they have patience with others and may others have patience with them. Most importantly though, may others see you through them. Watch over them, protect them an love them. In your name I ask these things, Amen.
Jesus said: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment that ranks with these.” (Mark 12:31 MSG)
Tristan and his friends, that he swears she doesn't have, at his very first concert at school. Sometimes they need to be reminded just how loved they are. <3
You can tell him that I will ALWAYS be his friend.
