I'm Working On My Additude = New Song

I'm Working On My Additude

(Chorus)

I'm working on my attitude,

Trying to live with gratitude.

I’ll ask, “Is this what Jesus Christ would do?”

Changing my tune, one prayer at a time—

With humility rhythm and rhyme.

(Verse 1)

When I’m grumbly, mumbly,a stomping my feet,

I stop and think, “Is this how love should speak?”

So I bow and pray, give it to the Lord,

Please let kindness be my final chord.

(Verse 2)

If I feel snappy, cranky, or blue,

I pray that Father God will help me through.

He shows us how to live with his grace,

So I’ll practice patience on God’s que.

(Bridge)

It's not always easy, I’ll admit,

Sometimes I’d rather throw a fit.

But Jesus is working change in me,

So I sing,I pray,off’rings bring.

(Repeat Chorus)

I'm working on my attitude,

Trying to live with gratitude.

Changing my tune, one prayer at a time—

With humility rhythm and rhyme.

New Song "No Tude Please"

Rascalia's Song

No Tude Please

No tude, please—I’ve had my fill

Of stompy feet and voices shrill.

Let kindness rule where tempers fade,

And grace be more than just a trade.

No tude, please—let love begin,

With gentle words and patient grin.

A thankful heart, a peaceful soul,

With God’s blessing of self-control.

No tude, please—I need God’s hand,

To help me live just as He planned.

A cheerful heart, not grump or gloom,

Let joy rebloom and fill the room.

So if I pout or slam a door,

Lord, help me love a little more.

No tude, please—I’d rather be

A peacemaker in harmony!

Prayer:

Lord help me have the right attitude.

A heart of love and gratitude.

Help me to always be gentle and kind.

With peaceful words, never be rude.

The Grace Tree Project Is About Jealousy and Forgiveness Youth to Adult

The Tree of Grace – Meaning & Purpose

At its core, the Tree of Grace represents growth, forgiveness, and the renewing power of God’s love. In contrast to envy, which eats away at our joy (Proverbs 14:30), this tree reminds us that we are rooted in grace—and called to grow in love.

Each leaf on the tree tells a story:

A prayer of release (“Lord, help me let go of this jealousy…”)
A praise report (“Today I celebrated someone else’s win!”)
A Scripture promise (“Love envieth not.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4)

It becomes a living testimony wall—transforming envy into encouragement.

Here’s a visual representation of the Tree of Grace—

ready to be used as part of your dramatic reading or craft activity.

Name Tag or Decorative

You can encourage participants to write something inside the leaf like:

A jealousy they want to surrender
A celebration of someone else’s success
A prayer for a friend they once envied

Option 1: As a Closing Activity after your “Green-Eyed Monster” drama or song, invite students to write on green leaf cutouts:

Something they’re jealous of
A prayer asking God to help Then, place the leaves onto a large tree drawn or posted on the wall.

Option 2: Ongoing Devotional Space Keep the Tree of Grace up during a series of lessons on character and faith. Let students add leaves anytime they experience growth, forgiveness, or contentment.

Option 3: Artistic Interpretation Turn it into a coloring poster or stained-glass craft—each leaf colored in as students reflect on biblical truths about jealousy, kindness, and grace.

The Lord Hath Spoken

The Lord Hath Spoken

Jeremiah 13:15

Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken.

We can apply Jeremiah to our lives because God has spoken to us. He has spoken to every person. Some of you may think that is not true. He has spoken to us through nature, He has spoken to us through scripture, He has spoken to us through others, He has spoken to us in our hearts. Just because you do not hear him does not mean that he has not spoken to you. The question is are you listening.

I read a children’s devotion today about a fishing trip. A father had taken his son fishing, but they were sitting there a while so the young boy was being loud and goofing off. His dad told him to be quiet because the fish could hear him. They moved to another fishing spot closer to the reeds by the shore.

He listened to his dad and sat patiently and was very quiet, after a while, the young boy felt a yank at his line, I caught one! he exclaimed, as he excitedly reeled in a pretty good-sized fish. "Good thing we were quiet." right Dad? "but dad, the fish doesn’t have ears. I was all worried about getting too loud and I didn’t have to be quiet, at all." "Oh, but they do have ears son, they hear you but they listen differently". He told him that fish have ears that they hear on the inside of them.

People have more than one way of hearing, we can hear what people say with our ears, and we can hear noises down the street with our ears. Some people can’t hear and use a hearing aid to hear. When you hear are you really listening or understanding exactly what you hear? The most important part of hearing is the hearing that happens on the inside of us. When we listen to our hearts by paying attention to what God is saying to us. God is speaking but are we really listening?

Hearing God speak to us through his Word and also to what he speaks to us in our hearts. Some people ignore what God is saying. The most important hearing is being able to hear what your heart is saying, when you’re a child of God, God speaks to your heart.

You can look inside and hear if you have heart trouble, if you are looking inside your heart you would hear the anger or discouragement, and then you start listening to God and remembering what God has spoken to us through his Word. God speaks to us and we hear with internal ears.

Mark 4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. God is talking about the internal hearing.

This kind of hearing is where you make a decision and you listen to what the Lord says in your heart and you follow him in your actions. Through all the things that go on inside our being, God speaks to us and comforts us through every internal struggle. We listen to him by reading His Word and also by listening to him in our hearts. Talking to God through prayer helps us to hear God and he hears us. God answers our prayers, we praise him and he speaks to our heart. We could have a bad attitude, then God speaks to our heart, then we listen to that voice. The voice that is heard with internal ears. If we have ears to hear then there is repentance.

Our Father in Heaven is gentle.

He speaks with a still small voice.

He loves us unconditionally:

So, in Him, we can rejoice.

The love of God is so sweet and pure.

God has spoken will you hear?

He gave His precious Son for everyone.

With a message will you hear?

Help Us - Prayer Song

Help Us

Help us to love you, Lord.

With all our hearts and mind.

Help us to praise you more.

Because you are divine.

Help us to serve you too:

With motives pure and true.

Help us to give your Word;

To people who’ve not heard.

Help us to be the light;

To those who need you so.

Oh Lord, we pray to thee;

That you supply our need.

Help us to walk the walk;

Help us to talk the talk.

Trusting you all the way;

May you bless us today.

You Are Love

Father In Heaven,

You Are Love

As I look up and see the falling snow;

Hear the birds of spring still sing.

See the Sunday morning sun peeking through

Like the mercy that shines from you.

Your goodness brings us fresh oil to bless.

Your peace has touched our innermost.

Your love has given us strength to prevail.

In your power and strength, we shall not fail.

With uplifted arms, reaching up to you;

Our hearts desire your blessing.

Like children needing love and care from you.

With tears of joy or sadness too.

You know are mountain, you know our weakness.

In you there is nothing we cannot do.

No force on earth or galaxies above.

There’s nothing as powerful as your love

You are love.

And We love you.

Prayer

Jesus Help Me

Lamentations 3:21-26

This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not.

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

We Need Your Blessing

The Storehouse Is The Church

Malachi 3:10

Bring ye all the tithes into the

storehouse, that there may be meat

in mine house, and prove me now

herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will

not open you the windows of heaven,

and pour you out a blessing,

that there shall not be room enough to

receive it.

Prepare your hearts to receive a blessing. Give to God without complaint.

God wants us to be cheerful about giving to him. He promises to open the windows of heaven.

Be a faithful giver to God and then God will be faithful in giving to you. This is a promise to God's children.

I have corrected something on this poster 

Prepare your hearts to receive a blessing.  Give to God without complaint.  

God wants us to be cheerful about giving to him.   He promises to open the windows of heaven.

Be a faithful giver to God and then God will be faithful in giving to you.  This is a promise to God's children.  You want to love him more..?    Love him in your giving to him.

 Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal, it shall be measured to you again.

I made a mistake on the date when I made the flashcards.

I marked it 2010 but it was supposed to be 2009. I decided to change the
