Gift of Free Will
Joey, a spirited 9-year-old boy living in the suburbs, struggles to control his emotions. He learns the importance of wisdom and prayer as he navigates the challenges of anger and frustration, ultimately realizing that free will gives him the power to make better choices.
Joey was upset again. His toy robot broke after he accidentally kicked it with his casted leg. Frustration boiled inside him, making his face red and his fists clench. " - Why does everything go wrong for me?" he muttered to himself. Joey's mom, hearing his frustration, came over to comfort him. " - Sometimes, we need to pause and think about how we can fix things," she said gently.
Joey wanted to fix his robot, but the cast on his leg made it hard to move around. " - I can't even reach the table properly," he complained. His mom suggested asking for help, but Joey wanted to do it on his own. " - I shouldn't need help!" he insisted, feeling stubborn. He felt stuck, unable to figure out how to manage on his own.
The next day at school, Joey's friend Max asked him to play soccer, but Joey snapped, " - I can't play with this stupid cast!" Feeling embarrassed and angry, he walked away. Later, his teacher asked him to lead the class project, but Joey refused, feeling too overwhelmed. " - I just can't do anything right," he thought, tears welling up in his eyes.
Back home, Joey threw himself onto his bed, feeling defeated. " - Maybe I should just give up trying," he whispered into his pillow. His mom knocked gently and came in, sitting beside him. " - It's okay to feel this way," she said, " - but remember, you have the power to make choices." Joey listened but felt uncertain about what to do next.
That evening, Joey's mom shared a story about making wise choices and the power of prayer. " - Sometimes when I'm unsure, I ask for guidance," she explained. Joey was intrigued and decided to try it himself. He closed his eyes and whispered a small prayer, asking for help to feel better. Slowly, he felt a sense of calm washing over him.
The next day, Joey approached Max, " - Sorry about yesterday. Can we play something else together?" Max grinned and agreed, making Joey feel relieved. Back in class, Joey volunteered for the project, determined to try again. With each step, he realized how his choices could make things better. Joey felt proud, knowing he was learning to control his emotions.
