Let's Be Friends!

JENNIFER STANFORD (written at age 11)

My friend Sheryl is on my school bus, but she gets on before me. Well, one morning she hit me in the back when I got on and off the bus. She went on doing this about a week and a half. It was so bad I even wanted to go to another school.

Finally I came to the point where I had to do some praying about it. Every morning I read a section of the Bible Lesson ^{In the Christian Science Quarterly;} and wrote down thoughts about it. This helps me solve my problems. At first I gave up, but I got back to working on it.

I discussed this with my parents and my Sunday School teacher. They all helped me see that Sheryl was God's child and God's child doesn't have evil thoughts. Here are Mrs. Eddy's words that I found in Science and Health: "Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which seemeth to be and is not." ^{Science and Health, p.472;}
