Every summer the girls participate in a summer reading program at the public library. They are working on a list that was given to them where they need to read books that fit under a certain category. For example, they need to read a book about animals, pets, a biography, a fiction book and non fiction book.
Emma asked me what non fiction meant and I told her that it was a book about something true or something that really happened. She went into her room and came back with a little book called, I am a Child of God. "Here is my non fiction book, Mom." I started to tell her that the book wasn't quite a non fiction book but I could not even finish my argument when she interrupted me and very sternly said, "BUT IT IS TRUE MOM! We are children of God." How grateful I am for children in my life who remind me who we really are and what is really TRUE.
I am a Child of God
Written by Wendy and Michael Nelsen
I am a child of God, So HE shares His love with me.
I know God listens to me because I am His child.
I am a child of God and He sees me as I can become.
I Know I am a child of God because He surrounds me with people who love me.
Because I am a child of God,
I can learn about His world,and share what I learn with others.
I am child of God and His angels watch over me.
I am a child of God,
And I can love all of His creatures both great and small.
Because I am His child, He shows me the way to my dreams.
I am a child of God,
And He wants me to choose friends who will help me climb higher.
Because God loves and cares for me, I can learn to care for others.
I am God's child, and He has given me a wonderful world to explore.
I am a child of God, And He gives me talents to share with others to make His world more beautiful.
I can be brave and strong, for as a child of God, I am never alone.
I am a child of God,and Jesus is my brother. They are my friends.
They know my name and They love me.
