Anna’S Tears Turns to Joy

By Kathryn Lawson

Anna came home from school crying every day. The kids at school would make fun of her because she prayed over her food. Anna came from a Christian home, where they believed in thanking God and blessing their food before they ate. Deborah, Annas mother, didnt quite yet know what she was going to do. She thought maybe she would talk to the principal because not only did the kids laugh, but also a girl named Tabitha bullied her every day. Tabitha always told her she was ugly because she wore glasses and wore funny clothes. Anna always wore nice dresses, and Tabitha made fun of that. She told Anna she was a nerd and called her four eyes. All Anna would do was cry and run away. Sometimes, the other kids would laugh. But her best friend, Julie, tried to console her.

Anna came home from school crying every day. The kids at school would make fun of her because she prayed over her food. Anna came from a Christian home where they believed in thanking God and blessing their food before they ate. Deborah, Anna’s mother, didn’t quite yet know what she was going to do. She thought maybe she would talk to the principal because not only did the kids laugh, but a girl tamed Tabitha bullied her every day. Tabitha always told her she was ugly because she wore glasses, and wore funny clothes. Anna always wore nice dresses and Tabitha made fun of that. She told Anna she was a nerd and called her four eyes. All Anna would do was cry and run away. Sometimes the other kids would laugh but her best friend, Julie, tried to console her.

Anna, don’t pay attention to Tabitha.

That’s easier said than done, Julie, was Anna’s response.

Anna’s father, James, was the Pastor of the Home Church. When they were eating dinner he told Anna she would always find bullies everywhere she went.

Sometimes they’re that way because they try to fit in by trying to make people think they’re tough. They’re that way for different reasons, her father told her.

After they all finished dinner Anna helped with the dishes. Then they all gather in the living room to listen to James read the Bible. After he finished reading Anne told her parents she wasn’t taking her Bible to school again.

Why not her parents both asked at the same time?

Because that’s just another thing Tabitha makes fun of, was Anna’s reply.
