Just now I used a penknife to beat Nathanial because he wouldn't give me the tiny balloon even when I asked him for it. I asked him, "Can give me the balloon please?" Maybe because I said "please" very softly, he would not give it to me. So I was very angry when he didn't give me the balloon. I picked up Mommy's penknife on the table and hit Nathanial with it. I did not push out the blade because I knew it was dangerous, that I might cut somebody. I know that is the wrong thing to do because that was a knife and I hit him. I knew it was wrong even when I took up the knife and hit him, but I still did it anyway. I forgot to ask the Holy Spirit first when I got angry. It was only after I hit Nathanial that I remembered it was wrong and I said sorry to Nathanial but very softly. Then I remembered and asked the Holy Spirit if that was the wrong thing to do. And the Holy Spirit told me that was a bad thing to do. The Holy Spirit also told me to say sorry to Nathanial again, this time louder. And I also promised Nathanial that I will not do it again next time.
Nathanial told Mommy what I did to him, Mommy talked to me, saying that I did the wrong thing. Mommy reminded me never to do it again, that the police can put me in jail for hitting people with a knife. Mommy also said that I must ask the Holy Spirit for permission before I do anything. Next time when I get angry with somebody again, I will walk away and pray to God, asking God to help me not to get angry.
I love You, God and Jesus and Holy Spirit. I will not make You sad.

Darling,
You sure have Mommy's temper and desire to avenge yourself for something you could not get. But what is great of you is your ability to know almost instantaneously your own mistakes and your desire to please God. Always remember that the Holy Spirit is always in you to guide you, listen to Him carefully and follow His instructions closely. ou won't go wrong from there.
Everyone makes mistakes for we are not God. Only God makes no mistakes. So it's ok to make mistakes, so long you learn from it and never repeat it. Just liek you told Nathanial, "I will not do it again." ou have to mean it and keep your word, for that is a promise. Keep your promises and ask God for strength to keep your promises, and you're still my good girl!
Mommy loves you!
