God, According to an 8 Year Old

God, According to an 8 Year Old Written by an 8 year old from Chula Vista, CA, for his third grade homework assignment. The assignment was to explain God. I just wonder if any of us could do as well? ————————————————— One of God’s main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn’t make grown-ups, just babies.

Simple Blessings

We should thank the Lord every day for everything! A roof over you head Your next meal We assume it’ll be there To us it’s no big deal So many things we take for granted We think life goes on As we planned it. Where will we shower To keep our bodies clean We never question The unforeseen Help us remember To count each way we’re blessed The simple pleasures We daily attest The loved ones That are with me here today Will help me face Another day None of us are Guaranteed tomorrow So live for today And rebuke...
