Danielle's little sister asks for help with her math problems. Danielle was just getting ready to go outside to play baseball with her friends. She is afraid that if she doesn't go now, the other kids will start the game without her.

What would you do if you were Danielle?
well i like my friends more than my sister and she doesn't really need my help and she can go ask her mom.

What would you do if you were Danielle?

-I would ask the kids to wait for 10-20 min or ask them to just have a little practice game then, I will help my little sister like a good Samaritan. In the bible it states, `

Deuteronomy 15:11
Chapter Parallel Compare
11 There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.

From <https://www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/bible-verses-about-helping-others/>

If I was in the same situation as my sister I would want her to help me, in the bible it also says, do onto others as you would want done onto you. Also think what Jesus would do.

Alex and Violet want to give their mother a gift for Mother's Day. Alex wants to put their money together and buy her a gift; Violet wants to make something for her instead. They cannot agree. Choose either Alex or Violet - what would you do? I chose alex because if I was a parent I'd rather get something that is worth something, is useful and not some stupid and cheap present. I can tell that parents like presets bought in store over presents made by yourself because when I was a kid I made a mother days gift and she didn’t look so happy but last year when I bought a oresent for her she loved it.

Alex and Violet Question:
I’d choose myself.
Since I am violet, I know that my mom is VERY picky and wouldn’t be pleased easily. She wouldn’t like anything we’d have to buy, and would prefer a hand-made gift that we put effort into instead of some store-bought gift that took two minutes to buy. A handmade gift has true value because it’s somethign we made and tried very hard to make it look nice just for her. Personally, my mom likes handmade stuff better than some wrapped dollarma thing. But if Alex really wanted to buy something for her then we would come to a compromise and he could do what he wanted to do and I would do what I know she’d love.

Choose either Alex or Violet - what would you do?

If i was in this situation i would make a deal. I would get my mom something nice that doesn't cost as much so then violet can still get something for herself.

What would you do if you were Danielle?

well i like my friends more than my sister and her work is nothing compared to my happiness, she can just ask her mom to help her. she don't need my help.

3. Alex and Violet want to give their mother a gift for Mother's Day. Alex wants to put their money together and buy her a gift; Violet wants to make something for her instead. They cannot agree.

Choose either Alex or Violet - what would you do?
I would be Violet, and I would not spend money on a gift. First I rarely buy my mom a gift, k make it and she is always happy to recivce something that I put effort in. Plus it’s better because then you improve your skills, so you can impress other people in your life later on. And plus I rarely have enough money for a juice box.

1, Does Danielle help her little sister with math or go play baseball with her friends.

If I was Danielle I would first help my sister, then maybe go play baseball with my friends. You see in real life I am the younger sibling, and I know that there are very few times that as the younger sibling like me would ask for help. Those moments that you spend might be absolutely nothing to the older sibling, but to the younger one it means the world. Like when your in fourth grade and your sister lets say is in eighth, agrees to help you with some new concept that you don't understand. It's literally like "OMG now I get it, that makes s much more sense now. You are a genius". That is how the younger sibling feels after the older one helps them with something(sometimes, sometimes they criticize you on how dumb you are).

The only reason that I'm not failing at school right now is because when I was in like third grade I already knew how to multiply, divide, add, and subtract integers. That was thanks to my wonderful older sister.

Danielle should really help her sister with that multiplication, or that clock/time worksheet, it will make a world of a difference. It can help shape a future scientist that might find the cure for the worlds rarest disease. The difference between a breakthrough and failure, could have been one little measly explanation.

What would you do if you were Danielle?

What i would do is probably ask my parents, since i want to go outside and play with my friends, if my parents aren't home then i would
help a little bit.

Alexa is crying in her room because she and her best friend got into an argument. Her sister, Renée, has missed spending time with Alexa, who is always with her friend.

What would you say if you were Renée?

Well I would probably go into her room and give her tissues for her tears. Then I would sit down and talk to her. I would help her resolve the problem with her friend and make her feel happier. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. This relates as Rennee is a peace maker between her friend and the other girl or boy. After all of the counselling I would probably ask Alexa if she wanted to play and have a fun time after all of that.

What would you do if you were Danielle?
If I was Danielle I would tell my sister to take a break, work on something else or relax while I played the game. Then when I would get back I would help her finish.

1.The simple awnser is compromise. Are you able to help her after the baseball game. If no then just help her if you work hard and do it quick you might make it on time. As well you little sibling definitely looks up to you be the nice older sister not the rude cranky hormonal one. Also if you think about it the homework will probably be easy for you like multiplication or sentences. Even if you miss the game, there is a virtue named patience my child use it.

2. If I was Renee, I would spend time with my sister, and try to cheer her up. I would try to take her mind off the argument and strengthen the bond between us as sisters. Hopefully, Alexa would also want to spend more time with her sister even after she makes up with her best friend, because family always comes before friends, and her sister was her first, and will be her longest lasting friend

If I was Danielle I would tell my sister to come with me and watch me play. After, I will help once I'm done my homework. Once I'm done my homework, I would tell her to ask our mom, that is if she annoys me. If she isn"t annoying, I would tell her to wait and play games other than Monster Legends on my iPod. Depending on her situation (If she has lots of homework) I would help quickly, then leave

(For reflection 1)
1. If I was Danielle, would stay and help my little sister with math. I'd decide that I don't care about baseball and would rather help with some easy math.

Philippians 2:4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. {https://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/bible-verse-about-helping-others-21-top-scriptures/#ixzz4x1gaLugJ}

I should know that she's younger and doesn't understand the concepts as much. Jesus didn't ignore others when they needed help, just because he had other things to do. He helped everyone that needed it. One of the Beatitudes say, Blessed are the Meek, for they shall inherit the Earth. We shouldn't only think of ourselves and being there for your siblings is important as well.

2. If I was Rene, I would stop for a moment and think how are my are cations affecting my sister. You could be rfectly fine but your sister might be having some rough days and before with the affection one shows to their siblings can change them completely. Just by saying hi can light up someone's day. Now, if I was Rèene. I would then stop everything, I wouldn't care at all about what's hoping on unless their was school work to do. Anyway I would stop everything to not only talk and play but spend the rest of the year and even other days just to verify quality time with my sister. Like the saying goes things come and go but family is for ever.

Danielle's little sister asks for help with her math problems. Danielle was just getting ready to go outside to play baseball with her friends. She is afraid that if she doesn't go now, the other kids will start the game without her.

What would you do if you were Danielle?

If I was Danielle, I'd probably stay inside and help. If I was in need, I wouldn't want someone to turn away from me. Once I finish helping, even If it takes an hour, I can go and join the game. Its not that big of a deal, you get the satisfaction of doing a good deed and you still get to play baseball (not that I like baseball).

Matthew 5:16 - "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven". This is saying (I think) you should teach your expertise so they may see your goodness/good deeds. We should help/teach others what we know so this knowledge can further aid them. Also, it shows you as a good person. Turning your back and straying away from those in need is not the right answer.

Alex and Violet want to give their mother a gift for Mother's Day. Alex wants to put their money together and buy her a gift; Violet wants to make something for her instead. They cannot agree.

Choose either Alex or Violet - what would you do?

Alex:
I would offer a compromise. We could buy something mom always wanted, but also make her something. Compromising doesn't always work though, so Alex should be prepared for a no. If she says no, Alex could make another deal. Alex could pool their money and buy something, and Violet could make something. In the end, if Violet was so stubborn as to not accept this compromise as well, I would just give in and buy one of those amazing VR cards. Sometimes, one must be the bigger person so something gets done.

Colossians 3:8 But now, put off all such things as anger, rage, malice, slander, abusive language from your mouth.

This verse tells us that we should not be showing our anger on the form of words of hatred. By being the bigger person, Alex has avoided this and followed the teachings of God.

If i was Alex i would tell my sister violet that we can do both so that our mother would get a nice gift that they both saved up for and each contributed into buying, and at the same time violet can make her mother the present shed like to show her mother that she wanted to use here own creativity that she put in for this thoughtful gift but in the end its the thought that counts therefor our mother would be fine with anything as long as there was meaning and thought put into it shell love it anyways.

Danielle's little sister asks for help with her math problems. Danielle was just getting ready to go outside to play baseball with her friends. She is afraid that if she doesn't go now, the other kids will start the game without her.

What would you do if you were Danielle?

Personally, if I was Danielle, I would stay in and help my sister with her math homework. Baseball is a game that can be played another time, but your sister needs her homework for tomorrow. I could just call or text one of the people that are there and tell them I'm going to be late. If they can wait for me that's great, of they cant then I'll just be late. If I get there late i'll wait until they start another game or ill play with them another day.

Psalm from Exodus 17:12
12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.

This passage tells us to help others who are in need. no matter what happens or what they need.

Danielle's little sister asks for help with her math problems. Danielle was just getting ready to go outside to play baseball with her friends. She is afraid that if she doesn't go now, the other kids will start the game without her.

What would you do if you were?

If I were to be Danielle in this scenario, I might as well waste some time to help my poor, uneducated sister with some work she should of learned during class. If I am aware that she clearly does not understand the questions but, was paying attention in class then I may as will explain to her a simpler way to do the math. If she apparently was fooling around in class and was not focusing on class work than not my fault, let her fail. Maybe, I would help her afterwards because first of all I would get in trouble for not helping her and I might feel somewhat guilty but mostly because I would get in trouble.

Thinking more into the situation, helping my sister instead of playing baseball with friends would be the right decision and what Jesus would like us to do. God sent his son down to earth and here Jesus should us the beatitudes that we started to follow. Guiding us to the open doors of heaven. Going over the beatitudes the one that makes sense with this scenario is "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" Meaning to be patient, to not get angry and not to only think of yourself. I find that this fits well with this scenario because To teach someone we need to find the patient to sit and teach them, from pass experience I find that it is hard to stay patient. We should not only think of yourself. We could of went outside but instead of doing what we want to do, instead we helped our little sister.

Quoted in the bible in Hebrews 13:16 "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Doing good to others is a sacrifice that reflects Gods expectations Philippians 2:4 "not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Not doing what you want to but help others in need is the message stated in this bible verse.

Yes I could miss a game of baseball but I'm not such a fan at playing baseball and there is always next time.

I keep thinking about this and Violet is just cheap!
Let's be honest, Violet doesn't want to spend her money so she makes up an excuse to not make herself sound greedy or cheap............(to be continued)

Scenario 1

If I were Danielle I would stay back and help my younger sister with her math homework. My friends may start the game without me.I would have the chance to play with them another time, but this time I would choose to help my sister out instead. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
