Here is a poem written many years ago that my grandchildren enjoy.....we act it out.
"What Do You Do When Your Friends Hurt You?"
Teaches the lessons of Matthew 18 :22 - How many times do we forgive?
What do you do
When your friends hurt you?
What do you say
On that awful day?
(Make frowns on your face, arms crossed and looking angry)
How do you act
When you're "stabbed in the back"?
Here's what to do.......
You say, ....... I LOVE YOU!
(Face changes....and you show compassion)
And you call on the name
That's always the same
And you ask HIM to give you
a heart to forgive them.
(Fold hands in prayer to God)
Then you go out again
Your face in a grin,
Give your friend a hug,
and your shoulder a shrug.
(Make grinning face, hug someone, shrug your shoulder)
And you do it
Again, and
Again, and
Again.......
