Roses and Thorns

A tender lesson about seeing the hurt beneath another person's harshness and responding with kindness that can change the emotional climate around us.

For parents, teachers, mentors, and pastors: use this story to guide conversations about empathy, compassion, friendship, forgiveness, and being kind to people who have caused pain. The closing questions make it easy to connect the lesson to real relationships.
