1 Timothy 4:12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young. Set an example for the believers in what you say and in how you live.

​

Dear Journal,

​

Today we spent the whole day at a Fun Park! It was so much fun! We went on bumper cars and the Merry-Go-Round and laughed in the Funhouse at our silly reflections in the mirrors. One part wasn’t so much fun. We went on the Water Log Ride. I got scared on the ride and cried after. To cheer me up, Dad bought me a balloon.

​

Later on, we decided to give the ride another try. While waiting in line, I saw another girl get off that ride. She was crying too. She must have been scared like I had been. I decided to give her my balloon to cheer her up. It had helped me. I told her not to worry. The feeling of being scared would pass like it had for me. She stopped crying and smiled. She was happy for the balloon.

​

Dad said that was a very nice thing I had done. He read 1 Timothy 4:12 to me.

​

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young. Set an example for the believers in what you say and in how you live.

​

He said that sometimes kids think that they can’t make a difference in the world because they are young. But he said that the Bible says otherwise. He said that I had made a big difference to that girl by being kind and encouraging her. I wonder what else I can do to make a difference?

​

We went back on the ride that had made me scared. This time we all had fun!
