RELIGION AND ART

Lord Jesus I stretch out my little hand to touch you. When I touch flowers created by God. I feel so much joy in my heart. I give reverence to God. I thank you Jesus for I know in my heart you are nearby. As I delight in its beauty with a smile on my lips, I know you are smiling with me, that you share in my joy.                                                 Thank you, Jesus, for sharing this wonderful moment with me. DEAR CHILDREN PRAISE THE LORD

Be good to me, your servant, so that I may live and obey your teachings.   Open my eyes, so that I may see the wonderful truths in your law. Thoughts of Solitude My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.   I cannot see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end.   Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.   But I believe that the desire to please you does, in fact, please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.   And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore, will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. Prayer   Heavenly Father, let me feel close to Thee.   G
