THE SPECIAL VOICES OF CHILDREN

TODAY: Appreciate the sound of children’s voices. Thank Jack, and wish happy birthday to Julia this week. And say a special thank you to her and the other children who sing in the church’s children’s choirs.

Today is my birthday, and this is one of my favorite verses. I feel happy that God made me and that God blesses every one of us. We all are His children. He is our one and only God, and He loves us very much even when we die. Jesus came down from heaven to take away our sins. I want people to know that He will save you and always love you no matter what. He made everything, and it is important to be grateful for what you have. Birthdays are special because you are getting closer to God, and He especially gave us His son to die for our sins and on His birthday we celebrate Christmas, which is one of the most important holidays, and so is Easter. He rose from the dead, and that was a very happy day, too.

The Wisdom Prayer
Lord, I have loved you forever. I am glad you are my God, and I will always seek to dwell in your glory. You are my rock. We will praise you and worship your name. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
