Every child on God's
earth
is precious in His
sight.
All He asks is that we
try
to do things that are
right.
When God looks down
from Heaven,
Jessica Smith can feel His gaze.
At
6 years old in
Fort Wayne,
she is blessed in many
ways.

Jessica thanks God for mornings
that turn into bright
days.
These days are filled
with
friends and story times
enjoyed beneath the
sun's bright rays.

He must have taken
special care
when He gave
Jessica Smith sight.
She can see the
butterflies by day
and the shining stars
by night.

Jessica's nose is such a wondrous gift;
it smells all kinds of
things:
fresh cut grass, hot
fruit pies,
and flowers in the
spring.
Page 11
Jessica listens very quietly
while Mommy reads a
book.
Where is that music
coming from?
Go to the window, take
a look!

Jessica loves to picnic at the beach.
She's happy she can
taste
the sweetness of fresh
fruit galore;
none ever goes to
waste.

Jessica uses God's gift of touch
when she gives friends
a hug.
With her finger she
explores
cold water, rocks and
bugs.
Page 16
With friends and loved
ones all around,
Jessica knows she must be kind.
In
Fort Wayne, everyone agrees
she's the best friend
you can find.
Page 19
The gift of
thoughtfulness is grand.
Jessica uses it each day
to help when someone
needs a hand.
"Thank you!" her
friends all say.
Page 20
God wants us all to be
helpful.
Jessica knows it's true.
At
6 years old, it's true;
Jessica is the biggest help around
when there's a job to
do.
Page 23
Sometimes it's hard to
wait
when
Jessica wants something "now."
She knows she must be
patient;
God will show her how.
Page 24
When
Jessica must make a choice
between what's right
and wrong,
God shines His light of
truth
and guides
Jessica right along.
Page 27
God knows
Jessica will make
mistakes that leave her
feeling sad.
Yet God forgives us all
our sins,
and this makes
Jessica feel glad.
Page 28
Because
Jessica loves to talk to God,
her prayers are always
heard.
She is so thankful that
God is near
to hear her every word.

Jessica's bedtime prayer:
Now I lay me down to
sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul
to keep.
Angels watch me through
the night
and wake me to Thy
golden light.
Oh, and God, bless my
family,
and bless my friend
Amy.
Amen.

In her hometown of
Fort Wayne,
Jessica Smith is quite well known
for being one who's
thankful for
the things no one can
own.
To her friends she
often says,
"Please listen
carefully.
I want to tell you all
about
God's Special Gifts to
Me!"
