It’s often hard to remember to be grateful for things that are good for us, but aren’t very fun, like going to the veterinarian. But try to keep in mind that it’s a blessing in disguise.
Nim: I hate going to the vet! I hate it! I hate it! I HATE IT!!!
Abby: You should try to change your perspective.
Abby: Try to have gratitude that God has provided us with modern medicine. Instead of saying "I hate the vet," say "Thank you God, for creating talented veterinarians I can go to."
Nim: Easy for you to say. You don't have to go to the vet today.
Abby: True.
It’s important to remember that not everything you hear from others is true. Read your Bible to make sure you don’t just believe what others tell you about God.
Abby: My master is working hard preparing for a party for her Sunday School class.
Abby: She's been cooking, baking, mopping, dusting, vacuuming, polishing the silver, hanging pictures, bleaching the hallways, testing recipes, finding just the right candles, baking pies, addressing invitations...
Con: I thought a party was a pizza and a movie or a game on Xbox.
God’s forgiveness through the blood of Christ isn’t a “Get out of jail free” card for Christians. It’s the ultimate expression of love we should strive to be worthy of.
Don’t think of Heaven as just a “concept,” think of it as an actual place. God showed us what it will be like with the Garden of Eden. Heaven is for real.
If you need to use a computer, but don’t have one or you’re having computer problems with yours, check with your church to see if you can use one of theirs.
