robehouse Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 "How to treat others, especially nonbelievers. Actions speak louder than words. They didn't say that but it amounts to the same thing. It doesn't matter who the person is or what they have done. Our job is to love them." Cindy said. Cindy started to make herself a burrito.

Ishigreensa Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Steve smiled and nodded. "I was reading about the story where Jesus had entered the temple and found it was being defiled by things of the physical world in Sunday School. I guess, what they wanted us to take away from that, is that we need to keep our own and the house of the lord clean first, if we want to advise others on how to keep their own spirits clean." He smiled at her. "We try to do that, don't we?" he asked her. Link to comment
robehouse Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 "Yes." Cindy replied. She started eating her burrito. Link to comment

You know, show that you understand a practical use of what you were taught? I was asked to ask advice about something I'm not sure of at work and to offer a listening ear if I find that some co-worker is having a hard time." Link to comment
robehouse Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Cindy tried to think. "I don't think they did. I'm just going to practice being a better friend to people." Cindy said. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Steve gave her a thumbs up. "That sounds like a worthy goal, honey." He then took another bite of burrito.

robehouse Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 "No sir." Cindy answered. Cindy ate her burrito and drank her drink. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Steve sighed. "You know I don't like you working on Sundays," he told her. "There's a reason I don't have any chores scheduled for you on Sundays." He smiled at her though and reached out his hand towards her. "You'll start your homework after we eat then, honey?"

Ishigreensa Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Steven smile and nodded. "That's okay, baby. It's just you know that I think it's the Lord's day. But we can't send you to school without your homework done, or you'll get in trouble. I think the Lord will understand that even if it's not ideal that you work on it on Sundays." He smiled at her. "Okay, after you eat, sweetheart And remember, I'm right here if you need any help." Link to comment
