WHAT a happy group of children we see in the picture! Why are they so happy? They are happy because God has sent them beautiful things to show His love. Look closely and you will see the bright, blue sky above them. They are sitting on a carpet of green with patches of beautiful spring flowers growing near. They have gathered many flowers. One little girl has her lap full; another has put some in her hair.
They have no care. Like the birds, God has given a voice to sing out their joy and happiness to Him. So they are singing a happy song now.
Singing is a way birds have of praising the Lord. Children can speak and thus in another way, give thanks and praise to Him who has died for them.
We should all be careful and use our voices to sing songs which are pleasing to the Lord. For His word tells us to sing and make melody in our hearts to the Lord.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.” Ps. 103:l.
