Loving is nice

Corinne Melissa Acasio Written at age 9

One day at school I was walking on the playground. I saw Timmy sitting under a tree. Nobody liked Timmy, and she looked very sad. So I went over to her and said, "Timmy, do you have anybody to play with?" Timmy said no. I thought for a minute. I learned in Christian Science Sunday School that "divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need." Science and Health, p. 494. Mrs. Eddy says that in Science and Health. I knew I was God's child—Love's expression—so I said to Timmy, "I will be your friend." Timmy looked up at me and said, "Do you really mean it?" I said, "Yes, I do really mean it." So Timmy and I went over to the monkey bars. At the monkey bars Timmy said, "Corinne, you are my best friend." From then on Timmy and I were very good friends.
