Principle Three:
"Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations"
Or, for us kids: "We Accept Each Other"
This is my friend Mylo and me:
We like to play together. There are a few things that are different about us. For one, Mylo can put his head on the counter for a snack. I have to wait until something falls on the floor because I am little. Another thing that is different about us is that when Mylo drinks water, he slobbers EVERYWHERE! When I drink water, I don't make a mess at all. Mylo joined his family when he was a puppy, and came from a breeder. I was adopted when I was about one year old from a rescue person, and don't know who my birth parents are. Mylo has a lot of shaggy, long hair, and my belly hardly has any hair at all! Can you name some other differences that you see between us?
Just because Mylo is different than me and we do different things does not mean we can't be friends. Of course, he has a bigger collar and leash than I do, but we are both loved and treated fairly by our families. Even though Mylo is much bigger than me, he is always welcome in in my small house. Just like I am welcome in his house and big yard. And even though he DROOLS everywhere, he is so lovable and fun when you meet him. I barely notice his slobber! And he puts up with me climbing all over him and biting his ears. We accept each other and, do you know what? We have a lot of fun!
I hope you can learn to accept your friends and others, even though they may do things differently than you. You might just have fun, too!

Here I am with one of my Valentines. His name is Buddy and I adore him! I just wanted to wish everyone a nice Valentine's Day, and remind you to remember all the people you love. I also remember that I love cookies, so I'm going to have one now.
