The Railway Children
Chapter 2 notes: Last week we talked about how the children didn't have a Christ-like attitude towards their aunt. This week we learned how she had thought ahead and sent along food with them for when they arrived. Even though they had a bad opinion of her and thought her a bit grumpy, she obviously cared about them enough to do this small, yet important task. God's Word is very clear that we are to be kind to others. Philippians 2:3b says "In lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." We are to do nice things for others, speak respectfully of them, and pray for them, even if they may be a little grumpy at times. It is easy to be nice to nice people isn't it? But God doesn't want us just to be kind to those who are good to us. He wants us to be kind to those who aren't so nice, too. The really wonderful part is that He is with us, working through us, helping us to be kind to others. Think of someone this week who YOU many consider to be not so pleasant to have around. Pray for this person and if possible send them a note or take them a plate of cookies or loaf of bread. (As always, be sure to have your parents' permission before you visit anyone.) ~Mrs. Hill |
