Hi, this is Dorette with an encouraging word for kids today. I hope you know how much love God has for you. He has your life in the palm of His hand. He loved you enough to die so that you could have a relationship with Him. He wants you to grow in Him and experience your very best life. Here is your encouraging word for kids today.
Sometimes we get stuck in a bad attitude, and we can mope around all day, or even be snappy to those around us. Do you know that just as quickly as we can get into a bad attitude, we can make a choice to get out of one? I know that sounds super easy. It isn’t complicated, it is just plain old hard! We have to put our flesh under and make a decision to change! Let me give you a good example. You can come home from school and be all tired, and maybe disappointed because you didn’t do as well as you would have liked on a test. You’re lying on the couch in a grumpy mood and your dad calls home to tell you he got tickets to go to a game that night. In 2 seconds you can go from a grumpy, tired, sad mood, to being excited, joyful and jumping up and down. Did your circumstances change? No, you still didn’t do as well as you wanted on your test, you still may be tired, but because of a new option, your emotions changed. So you can make that choice moment by moment! You can determine your mood. So why not choose joy today!
