Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy who loved playing with his toys. One day, Timmy's friend, Sarah, accidentally broke his favorite toy car. Timmy felt very sad and angry because he loved that toy car so much. He wanted to shout at Sarah and make her feel bad, but then he remembered something very important.

Timmy's mom had taught him a special rule from a book called Ephesians 4:32. She explained it to him like this: "Timmy, in life, we should always be kind and forgive others, just like how God forgives us when we make mistakes." Timmy didn't fully understand it at first, but he knew it was something important to remember. 
So, instead of getting mad at Sarah, Timmy took a deep breath and remembered what his mom had said. He decided to forgive Sarah for breaking his toy car. He went up to her and said, "It's okay, accidents happen. Let's still be friends." Sarah felt really sorry and promised to be more careful next time.

Timmy's act of forgiveness made both of them feel better. They continued playing together and had lots of fun. Later that day, Timmy's little sister, Lily, accidentally spilled juice on his favorite drawing. Timmy could have gotten angry again, but he remembered the special rule from Ephesians 4:32.

He looked at his sister and said, "It's alright, Lily. I forgive you. Let's clean it up together." Lily felt relieved and grateful for her brother's forgiveness. They cleaned up the mess and even drew a new picture together.

As the days went by, Timmy faced many more situations where he could have gotten angry or held grudges. But every time, he remembered Ephesians 4:32 and chose to forgive instead. He forgave his friend who accidentally stepped on his foot, his teacher who accidentally spilled coffee on his homework, and even his mom when she accidentally broke one of his toys.
As Timmy grew older, he encountered many situations where he had to put his mom's teachings into practice. Whether it was a friend who betrayed him or a classmate who teased him, Timmy always tried to remember the importance of kindness and forgiveness. It wasn't always easy, but he knew that holding onto anger and resentment would only weigh him down. So, he made a conscious effort to let go of grudges and approach each situation with a forgiving heart.


Timmy realized that forgiving others made him feel happier and lighter inside. It also made his relationships stronger because people appreciated his kindness. He even noticed that when he made mistakes, others forgave him too, just like God forgives everyone.

So, Timmy continued to live by the special rule from Ephesians 4:32. He forgave others, showed kindness, and made lots of friends along the way. And whenever he faced a difficult situation, he would remember the story of Ephesians 4:32 and choose forgiveness, just like a superhero with a superpower of kindness. The end!
