I loved the wasp
I was leaning out the door to call my mum. And there was a wasp on the door frame. It stung me. My mum came running to see what had happened. When she saw the wasp that had stung me, she was going to kill it. But I told her not to hurt it.
So she picked it up and put it in the garden. I felt like it was a good wasp and it belonged to God. I hardly noticed the sting because I felt so much love and kindness toward the wasp. And the love healed me of the sting right away. It was like what Jesus said in the Bible, "Love your enemies," because then you have no more enemies left.
