And have a BLESSED WEEKEND with your families.

Jesus has taught us to

“Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." MARK 12:31

“"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.” MATTHEW 7:12

These are lessons we must impart on all our children and our grandchildren. There are many things this can easily be applied to, and one of the most important ones I believe is the acceptance of others for who they are and not what they are. In teaching any lesson children can’t be hit over the head with the lesson, nor can they be talked down to; for in both cases the lesson’s meaning can easily be lost.
One of the first books I had reviewed deals with this lesson of acceptance. It’s an award-winning book, entitled “A Lesson My Cat Taught Me.” Here’s my review for this book:

Felicia, all you had to do was make sure you got no more notifications for this post if you aren't interested (instead of being a negative twit). I see things on here all the time I don't care for, I typically just ignore them and make sure I get no more notifications on it. Show me in the guidlines of Goodreads where it says you can't speak on religion? This place has a lot of books on that (ALL types of beliefs or lack there of) because that's what people read. This post is about a book if you had really read down to the bottom of the post..or at least skipped to it. FYI: I will NOT get a notification for this...Why? Because it is something I am not interested in reading and tend to steer clear of author posts. (I only responded to you because you're comment was uncalled for and nasty for no other reason than you felt like you could be...Freedom of speech does not give you the right to be nasty. Period)

Felicia (byefelicia08) I read the entire post, Bridget. Your response is the only nasty part of this thread I've seen. I, just like you, can comment as I see fit, only I'm not calling names. Grow up, Bridget. Get off your high horse, it's unbecoming.

LOL, I find it funny you deleted your previous (nastily put) comment though and I quote: Felicia wrote: "Keep your religious beliefs to yourself, Robin. Think isn't the place for your ideologic ramblings." <<~~THIS is what is "unbecoming" ma'am. You're just in your feelings because you got called on your negativity.

I called you a twit because it is very SILLY/FOOLISH of you to be so negative when you didn't need to be. Playing victim is not cute. Don't do it. I wasn't even going to respond to you this time until I saw the comment was "conveniently" deleted, which is still hilarious to me.... #Done

(I happened to check back just to be nosy).

Lisa Keith (lisanorway) I really detest forceful religious messages. The message you are stating that "must (be) impart(ed) on all our children and our grandchildren" is offensive to at least half the world. The message is only interesting or applicable to Christians. People who practice other religions, atheists, and agnostics don't agree with that message at all. It excludes others which is a big reason why I reject it. It does NOT accept others. This is a book club, not Bible class.
