Be a bounce back buddy

The other day Ralph really made me angry, he took the last cookie in the cookie jar. I know what you are thinking, "What's the big deal Elmer?" Well the fact is other than being my most favorite cookie, nothing. But it sure was a big deal then. I said some things to Ralph that were mean and unkind and as soon as those words came out of my mouth I knew I was wrong. So I stomped out of the kitchen and went and pouted about it. Then God spoke to me and said, "ELMER!" ( it seemed like it was in all upper case letters and kinda loud). He said, "Is a cookie worth your friendship with Ralph and more importantly your relationship with me?" I said, "No!" I then decided I needed to be a 'bounce back buddie'! So, I went right in and repented to Ralph for being so silly and selfish. I think God wants us to all be 'bounce back buddies' and forgive each other all the time, everyday, every minute.

Okay... Later gator, Elmer
