What God Gives A Boy Or Girl
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles
1) A Body to keep clean and healthy as a temple of life for mind and soul for the earthly journey.
2) A Pair Of Feet to do errands of love, kindness, charity, and business, but not to loiter in places of mischief and sin.
3) A Pair Of Hands to use for oneself and others, but not against others for self.
4) A Pair Of Lips to keep pure, unpolluted by either tobacco or strong drink, and to speak true, brave, kind, and helpful words.
5) A Pair Of Ears to hear the music of the birds and human voices, the harmony of humanity, but not to give heed to anything that dishonors God or parents.
6) A Pair Of Eyes to see the beautiful, the good, and the true — God’s handiwork in all nature and opportunities for happiness in service to His glory.
7) A Mind to remember and reason and decide and in which to store useful information — not a cheap basket for trash.
8) A Soul as fair as a new-fallen snowflake, to receive impressions of good, and to develop faculties of power and virtue which will shape it day by day, as an artist’s chisel shapes the stone.
