Miss Jones: Good morning, Jake.

Jake: RazzleFrazzle nash snarl blah..blah..blah grumble grumble grumble

Miss Jones: Uhhhh, Jake, is there something wrong?

Jake: Grrrrrr! I'm so mad! Nothing is going right! I'm mad, mad, mad!

Miss Jones: Well, what's going on?

Jake: Fred's gone on vacation and I don't have anyone to play with and I can't think of anything fun to do and I need some new toys. All of mine are played out. (more grumbles here) Raslent rant rant rant rant…

Miss Jones: ooohhh you sound sick!

Jake: Yeah. I feel sick too!

Miss Jones: Open your mouth and let me have a look......mmmmmm not there.... let me listen to your heart….ooohhhhh….I think I've found the problem.

Jake: Oh my! I've got a sick heart?? I told you everything was just awful!

Miss Jones: Yes Jake. You have a sick heart but I think I know the cure!

Jake: You do? Oh please tell me what I need to do! I think I'm feeling weaker!

Miss Jones: You need an attitude adjustment.

Jake: A what?? You're pulling my leg!

Miss Jones: Nope. I haven't touched them. But I know just how you can get an attitude adjustment.

Jake: Oh yeah, how's that?

Miss Jones: Count your blessings! In 1st Thessalonians chapter 5 verses16-18, the Bible says "Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Jake: Well, how can I do that if I don't feel like it?

Miss Jones: You start! Jake, you start with just one thing you can thank God for and then you think of another and another. For example the only thing wrong with your heart is your attitude. You can thank God for your health.

Jake: Yeah, and I can thank Him that I have a friend like Fred. Even if he did go in vacation and leave me here by myself, huh?

Miss Jones: You've got the idea but there’s something else you need to thank Him for.

Jake: Yeah, I should thank him that I'm not as old as you!

Miss Jones: Ha Ha. and I'll thank Him that I'm still getting older.

Jake: Jeez…. Why would you do that?

Miss Jones: Well, If I'm not getting older, I would be dead. Plus that gives me more time to live for Jesus.

Jake: Oh, Yeah.

Miss Jones: Jake, if you want to feel better all the time then remember that Proverbs 17:22 says "A cheerful heart is good medicine."

Jake: Boy I needed to hear that one. A cheerful heart is good medicine. I feel better all ready. Knock, Knock.

Miss Jones: Who’s there?

Jake: Celia.

Miss Jones: Celia who?

Jake: Celia later, alligator.

Miss Jones: Jake, you are a silly monkey. Bye-bye. Hope you are feeling better and have a good week.

Jake: I am feeling better now so I guess I'll go fnd someone-else to play with since Fred is gone. See you next week! Bye-bye Miss Jones. Good-bye all you good looking boys and girls.
