God Wants Me to Share My Faith In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 The Story of Creation
GOD MADE ALL THINGS There is a God, in heaven above, A God so great, so full of love.

A mighty God, Our one true King, A God who can do anything.
He wrote the tiny bluebirds song And made the bunny hop along. Not just the waddle Ducklings do, He even thought of quacking too!
Pretty flowers and bumblebees, Panda bears and chimpanzees, Whether theyre big Or very small Remember, our God made them all. Genesis 1:1 A Prayer for My Child
MAY MY CHILD COME TO KNOW YOU Lord, you alone we call God. You are indeed the Creator of all things. I ask that your hand of guidance and blessing be upon my child. I claim your promise of love and protection right now, and I pray.
Amen.

God Is So Good I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14 The Story of Adam and Eve
GOD MADE ME Your tiny fingers each reveal The glory of our God so real. For there is none Who could ever do What God has done by making you!
But you were not the first one planned, Created by our Makers hand. First came Adam, And this we know Because the Bible tells us so.
Then Eve was fashioned by design, Sculpted at the perfect time. Yes, God made Adam, Eve, and you. Im precious to him And you are too! Genesis 1:27 A Prayer for My Child
MAY MY DISCOVER PURPOSE Lord, how beautiful my child is! How fearfully and wonderfully made he (she) is! What great purpose and significance comes with knowing that God made us.

I will tell my child about you. My child will know that he (she) was created by a mighty God with his purpose in mind. Amen. Moments to Remember
My thoughts on the day you were born...
A Verse for Mother Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go. Genesis 28:15 You are not alone.

God is with you. I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2 Corinthians 6:16 The Story of Enoch
GOD WALKS WITH ME One day, dear child, a choice youll make: To walk with God, or him forsake. So my prayer Will ever be, Youll walk with God, eternally.
Enochs walk with God inspires. To please the Lord was his desire. Three hundred years Gods Word does say, He walked with God every day.
His faith was strong to do whats right, And God was pleased with Enochs life.

The storys clear; Dont think it odd That we should always walk with God! Genesis 5:1824 A Prayer for My Child
MAY MY CHILD WALK WITH YOU
