Little Mary was an orphan, born and brought up in a great city, but after the death of her parents she went to live with a relative in the country. On the evening of her arrival there, she was allowed to sit outside the cottage and eat her supper of bread and milk, in full sight of the sea with its rolling waves.
This was great treat to Mary, who had never lived in the country before; but ere she began her supper, she did not forget to thank God for having taken her there in safety, and for the food before her. For Mary had learned to know and love the Lord Jesus as her Saviour, and she loved to think of Him, knowing that it is through Him, God gives us all things, The Scripture says,
“He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things.” Rom. 8:32.
“O, give thanks unto the Lord; call upon His name.” Psa. 105:1.
