A CHILD'S THANKSGIVING PRAYER
Dear Father up in heaven above,
I thank thee for thy care and love,
That give me all I need each day
To live for Thee and walk Thy way.
I thank Thee for the angel strong
Who guards me from all harm and wrong.
Protected thus I need not fear,
Knowing Thy care is always near.
I thank Thee for the Bible given
To show us Christ, the way to heaven,
To show that Thou hast met our need.
I thank Thee Thy Book to read.
I thank Thee for Thy Son, Who came
To die for all my sin and shame,
To Open up the way for me
To be given and come to Thee.
I thank Thee for Thy Spirit's part,
To come and live within my heart;
To teach me more of Thy great love,
And guide me on to heaven above.
I thank Thee for the hope so sweet
That soon in heaven I shall meet
Thee and Thy Son and with Thine own
Sing praise forever 'round Thy throne.

life!
The poor lepe;r thought, "I wonder
if this Jesus w'm heal me." Be!fore
anyone could sto[>him, he ran to
Jesus, knelt at his, feet, and worshipped him. Looking up at J,~sus,
the man said, "H you are wi11ing,I
know you can heal me."
Jesus looked down at the man
