Our Creative Friends
Jesus’s Love
Jesus loves us.
We know this because
He died for us.
He made us food and gave us shelter.
He made it all better.
We love Him,
And He loves us forever.

Tree Scene
Cloudy, bright, and blue sky.
Very green and empty tree.
Warm and bright and dry earth.

I Need
Prayer is talking.
Prayer is listening.
Prayer is answering.
I need prayer.
Faith is believing.
Faith is knowing.
Faith is hoping.
I need faith.
Jesus is teaching.
Jesus is loving.
Jesus is forgiving.
I need Jesus.
Isaac M., age 8, Utah
Heavenly Father Created Me
Heavenly Father created me.
He gave me eyes so I can see.
He gave me a nose to smell a flower.
He taught me to pray every hour.
He gave me two ears so His words I can hear.
He sent me the Holy Spirit to know that He is near.
He gave me a mouth so I can share
The gospel with friends to show that I care.
He gave me hands to serve with love,
To thank my Father in Heaven above.
Andi D., age 10, Montana
To Be Righteous
We preach the gospel.
We teach the gospel.
We’ll be more strong
With a good song.
We’ll read the scriptures
And look at the pictures.
