Emily, Greenfield
Christian Chuch

May 2001

I think you are awesome.

I thank you for the flowers, the ocean and Jesus.

Sometimes when I swing real high and close my eyes, I feel like I am in heaven

I thank you for my house, my little warm bed and my teachers.

I am thankful to live in America and in my town
and I am happy when the Cubs win games.

I pray for the children in countries with war, fighting, hate, diseases and no food. Please God, help them. Please don't forget them.

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Emily is a third grader at St. Michael's school in Greenfield.  Her favorite subject is social studies. She lives with her parents, Michael and Cherie, two younger sisters, Hannah and Zoe, and two beagles, Henry and Lucy. She is a Brownie Girl Scout, takes fencing lessons and LOVES baseball, especially the Chicago Cubs.  When she grows up, she wants to be a history professor or a chef. Emily became a member of the Greenfield Christian Church last Easter after seeking out her minister and asking to be baptized. She is particularly thankful to David and  Kaye Edwards for their friendship and spiritual guidance. She is very sensitive about children who say mean things to others at school and concerned about children in other parts of the world.
