Having a Good Attitude Matters

Recently when I was having a bad attitude I learned an important lesson from it. I had just had my friends over and when they all left I started acting lazy. Everything seemed to not be going my way. Mama and Papa tried to deal with me so I would be cheerful. I was mad that nothing was going my way. The next morning I was feeling very sick and I had a bad headache. I also really wanted to go to a special event that was happening that night, but I knew I probably wouldn’t get to go. That just made me feel more mad. Mama said I should go and take a rest and I was glad. When I woke up from my rest Mama read me a story from the book we had been reading. God talked to me through the book and I started to realize that I had been having a horrible attitude. I prayed and asked Jesus to forgive me and cure me of it. I also prayed that He would help me feel better so that I could go to the special event. I started to feel a lot better and helped Mama to get ready to go. I was a lot happier when I had a good attitude. And I got to go to the special event. God can help you with your struggles, too.
