Mischief in Gramma Cherbear's
Den
I am sure you have been tempted to join
in mischief making. But mischief is never a good idea. It becomes
worse when others are hurt. Satan can plant all kinds of ideas
in an idle mind. God has given His Holy Spirit to help you refuse
the devil's temptations. He wants you to treat others the way
you want to be treated. Keeping your mind full of good thoughts
of being kind and helpful to others is one way to avoid the temptation
to be mischievous. Always think, "What would Jesus do?"
Represent Him well!
When other people do not respect our things
we get upset. When they hurt us we feel sick in our heart. Our
spirit is injured. We should think before we act! We should ask
how we would feel if we were the target of mischief making. Playing
dirty tricks on our friends or anyone else is not funny and is
the wrong thing to do. Making the wrong choices will lead to
others not trusting us. People will know us by what we do. God
will help us have His Great Love for other people. Others will
see Jesus in our actions and deeds!
It's a sad day for Gramma Cherbear's Critters.
The Kid Cave has been ransacked. Holes have been scratched into
Gramma Cherbear's chair. Her favorite tea set is broken. The
Critters will try to clean up before she returns. Joshua suspects
it was Rick and Randy Raccoon up to some mischief making. Or
maybe the Badger Brothers! They are known as the Kid Cave Forest
mischief makers.
When harm comes to others we can use the
Love of Jesus to help them. If we speak kind words or help repair
the damage that mischief makers cause, we will bring joy back
into someone broken heart. We might stop the mischief of others
if we refuse to join in their "not so fun" games. Ask
the Lord to full your mind with good thoughts and your heart
with a desire to help and not hurt.
