One of the main points we were communicating last week was to encourage others in hard times. We showed some of our classes how we should help others when they are having a hard time. In the cafeteria, we saw one of our fourth grade girls sitting by herself, crying and crying. After talking with her, we found out that her family was going through some really hard times. We talked with her for a while, and soon children from other grades started coming up and encouraging her. It was awesome to see people from all ages come up and say something uplifting or try to put a smile back on her face.
We had been teaching her class for six weeks and never knew that she was having such a hard time. She always smiled, talked, and participated in class, without me even sensing a problem. If I hadn’t seen her crying, I never would have known there was something wrong. How many other people do we talk to every day that are going through hard times. God used this experience to show me that Loyalty isn’t just helping out others when you see they are having problems, but to treat everyone with love because you may never know what they are going through.
