KIDS

Snippet

Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven. Henry Ward Beecher

Scripture

Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift?

    the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?

Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows

    are the children of a vigorous youth.

Oh, how blessed are you parents,

    with your quivers full of children!

Your enemies don’t stand a chance against you;

    you’ll sweep them right off your doorstep. Psalms 127:3,4 Message

If it weren't for kids have you ever thought

There wouldn't be no Santa Claus

Or look what the stork just brought

Thank God for kids.

We'd all live in a quiet house

Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse

And Kool Aid on the couch

Thank God for kids.

Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while

A special kind of sunshine in a smile.

Do you ever stop to think or wonder why

The nearest thing to heaven is a child?

Daddy, how does this thing fly?

And a hundred other wheres and whys

I really don't know but I try

Thank God for kids.

When I look down in those trusting eyes

That look to me I realize

There's love that I can't buy

Thank God for kids.

Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while

A special kind of sunshine in a smile.

Do you ever stop to think or wonder why

The nearest thing to heaven is a child?

When you get down on your knees tonight

And thank the Lord for His guiding light

Pray they turn out right.

Thank God for kids.

Mmm, Thank God for kids.

Sentence Prayer

God in heaven hear my prayer,

keep me in thy loving care.

Be my guide in all I do,

Bless all those who love me too.

Amen.
