A conversation in the car

Micah: Mom, I don't want Garrett to come over to my house because he's mean to me.
Me: Do you know what Jesus says we should do when people are mean to us?
Micah: What?
Me: He says we should still be nice to them.
*pause*
Micah: Does Jesus get mad when we are mean to him?
Me: No, he still loves us.
Micah: But I thought he gets sad when we are mean.
Me: He does get sad, but he still loves us.
*pause*
Micah: I'm going to pray about that.
Me: Okay.
Micah: Dear Jesus, thank you for today. Thank you that you still love us even when we're mean to you. Amen. Was that a good prayer mom?
