THEY THREW THE FIGHT IN THE TRASH

THEY THREW THE FIGHT IN THE TRASH

...and they got their friend back again!

*♥♪ REMEMBER CHRIST, OUR SAVIOR ♥♪*

Josh and Thomas, very good maybe best friends got into a fight. They are only 6 and 7 years old, but it became a real 'fist fight'.
Josh's brothers (11 and 14 ) wanted to know who won!
But I was really sad...such a shame for the friends to be angry at each other-and I knew our enemy who had stirred up all this mess was loving it.
As I talked with Josh alone about it, I reminded him how JESUS taught us to turn the other cheek, and:"Thomas is your good friend...you two always have so much fun playing together."

(and, as always I pray for GOD to show me what to do or say to fix this problem!)
Josh did repent of the fight and asked GOD's forgiveness, and for GOD to fix the mess. (ok...so I have alot of experience with GOD fixing my personally made messes!...so, ok...I taught him to ask for that, too.)He went over and apologized to Thomas for fighting.
What do you know?
Thomas came over to ...talk with the boys. All 3 brothers were outside playing and Thomas came over to sit on the fence...Josiah (14) says to Thomas, "So, Thomas who won the fight?"
Loudly I said, "Josiah!" "They BOTH won! They threw that fight in the garbage! Now, they have their best friend back again!"

On the way to church on Sunday morning, I asked Thomas if he and Josh are best friends again. Thomas told me (with a big smile) "Oh, yes! We threw the fight in the trash!"

*Dear LORD JESUS,*

Please help me to always remember how YOU would want me to act/react in every situation. Help me to think of anyone I have lost friendship with and help me to throw that fight in the trash, too. I ask YOU to forgive me of my part in it all and Please, JESUS, would you fix the mess we made of our relationship.

I know you want me to contact that person...I will. YOU please make it happen...connect our paths again. When I see them, I will KNOW YOU set up this meeting so we can make peace.

Thank YOU, LORD JESUS,

YOU TRULY ARE THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

amen

Tammy, you are so sweet. But I cannot take credit for 'knowing what to do'. I was totally clueless. Just sad.
GOD in HIS mercy and love answered my prayer to do/say something to help fix the problem.
HE has answered that prayer every time I have prayed it.
(Thank YOU, LORD!)
I highly recommend it to everyone needing 'wisdom'!
HE is AWESOME!

~love you, Tammy!

and to all:
~Be Blessed Beloved
