At Sunday school, we were reading the letter of James. I have learned that when I struggle with schoolwork, it helps to do the homework.
Sometimes we don’t realize we’re holding a grudge because our hand has been clenched for so long it feels normal.
I don’t know if you remember, but when I was in school, occasionally, there would be a time when a teacher would say, “Hey, listen up! This will be on the final exam, so pay attention!”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
