     Kids can be very cruel to one another. I heard a mouthful from many friends and family who thought that I would not graduate High School. I now have a Doctorate in Education, retired from the USAF as a Major and am still actively working as a University Supervisor. These kids should not listen to negative words from such thoughtless individuals.

 

A GREAT story about kids that NEEDS to be told.

 I never heard of a SLAM book. This is one way kids these days cut each other down.

 However kids back in my day wrote some pretty cruel things in autograph books.

 My own sister wrote, "One day you'll grow up and I know you'll agree that maybe you will grow to up to be as half as smart as me."

 A typical friend wrote, "Violets are BLACK, I would not be surprised if you got left back."

 Now, my mom said to ignore it but it's hard when you are a kid.

 How does a kid cope with this negative feedback?

 Pray for those who persecute you. Listen to God not man.

 Yes, good advice, even for a kid…

 Amen

Reference: Isaiah 40:31  “but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.”

An important message. Some are not as strong as others and words can kill the spirit, and even sometimes worse.

Great message in this; kids need to be encouraged and taught about God and the repercussions of not having Him in their lives; there is a heavy price to pay ....

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn.
