God never made a bully

BY Joy V. Heinlein

MICHAEL was in the fourth grade and had always enjoyed going to school. He liked his teacher and got along well with his classmates. He and his mom would often talk together about his day, and he liked to share with her what was going on in school.

But then he started telling his mom before school that he didn't feel like going that day. On some days, the school would call her at work to tell her to come and get him from the nurse's office. Yet by the time they got home, Michael would be feeling fine.

Michael usually told his mom everything that happened at school, but now he seemed unable to tell her what was troubling him. Whenever Michael's mom knew he was facing a problem, she would pray for him, so she prayed now. Even though she didn't know exactly what the problem was, she knew there were no secrets from God. She decided to schedule a conference with Michael's teacher.
