FIRST LESSON IN TRUTH FOR CHILDREN

Yesterday my little girl said to me: "Mommy, who is God? Is He a man? And if He is a man why can't we see Him?"
God is not a man. God is everything that is good - Health and Love and Happiness and Beauty, and everything you can think of that is good.
Sunshine is warm and bright. It is something that you cannot pick up or take from one place to another, and you cannot actually see sunshine, though you can see how the garden is brightened when the sun shines on it. It makes you feel bright and gay and good when you wake up and see the sun shining into your room in the morning.
So God is. He is like sunshine inside each of us. He makes us feel warm and happy and good when we know He is in us and around us. God is everywhere all the time. The sun can shine here, and in Cape Town and in Durban and in Pretoria all at the same time, and everyone in all those places can have just as much sunshine as you, at the same time as you. So it is with God. God is everywhere all the time. You can have all of God all the time, and every little girl and boy and grown-up person can have just as much of God, at the same time.
So now you can see that if God is all good things, and God is everywhere all the time, God is being Love and Health and Happiness and Beauty and all good things in you and me, now and all the time.
THANKS TO GOD

I called tonight
To talk a little while
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trial.
You see, I can't quite make it
Through the day just on my own...
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.
I want to ask you please to keep
My family & friends safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they're bound.
Give me faith, dear God to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things
I can't change in any way.
I thank you God for being home
And listening to my call,
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and fall.
Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a dime.
So thank you, God, for listening
To my troubles, and my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You too,
And I'll call again tomorrow!
