pa and mama, brother or sister, today,
you will find it easy to be kind to them tomorrow. It makes you happy
to be good to those around you.

If you are cross and say bad words, you may want to say them again.
You can not feel happy when you have said and done bad things.

God can help you sow good seed. He will help you to be good. He will
help you to love all around you.

Flowers of Springtime

How pretty and sweet are the apple, peach, pear, plum, cherry, and
orange blossoms! How good God was to make all these things for us to
see and smell! We can enjoy the blossoms. Also, we can see the little
apples or other fruit grow until they become large, juicy, ripe fruit.
Then we can eat them, and oh, how good they will taste! God is very
good to us.

Not a leaf nor a blade of grass could grow if God's hand did not care
for it. He causes the warm sun to shine and the gentle rains to fall
so that everything can grow. Things could not grow without the warm
sun and the rain.

God has caused the wild flowers to grow along the road-side and in the
woods and meadows so we can enjoy them. How glad we should be that we
have such a good God to worship! When we kneel to pray, we can say,
"O Lord, I thank thee for all the pretty things I see each day." The
pretty things are some of the blessings that he daily gives us.

A Walk in the Woods

Have you ever taken a walk through the woods by the brook on a warm
day? How cool and pleasant the water looked as it ran along over the
rocks! Did it not make a pleasing sound?

It is delightful to go through the woods where you can see the
beautiful trees. You can nearly always find some flowers growing along
the edge of the brook. Besides, the little birds fly among the trees
and sing so sweetly. Almost any child would enjoy a walk through the
woods. But there are many children in large cities who never have the
pleasure of going to the woods.

How pleasant it is to sit down in a cool, shady place, and think of
the lovely things that God has given us to enjoy. As we look around
us, we can see so many blessings that God has given us.

Even the little birds and flowers seem to be telling us that Jesus
loves us. God has made many beautiful things for us to enjoy. It makes
us happy to see the beautiful flowers, and to hear the little birds
sing so sweetly.
