God’s word, th e Bible tells us th a t God feeds the birds and makes th e flowers, trees and grass to grow in all th e ir beauty, and it, also tells us we are a g rea t deal more to Jesus th a n all these, and He w ants us to always remember th a t He will tak e care of us, if we only tru s t Him. Adam and Eve lived very happily in the Garden of Eden, w alking among th e beau tifu l flowers and p etting th e animals, and loving each other, as they loved th e ir F a th e r, God. Closing P ra y er: Our kind heavenly F ath e r, we th a n k thee fo r th y kind w atchful care over us, and help us to love thee and serve thee every day.
