"GIVEFULNESS"
1/15/40

Little Jo Ann, with the restless curls
And the dancing, clear brown eyes -
So full of chatter, mischief, fun,
But she is wondrous wise.

For Sunday school she writes her thoughts
In her quaint and earnest way;
In writing of what she may give to God.
She has just this to say:

"I may give Him Love, and Worship - Prayer
I may give him Thankfulness."
(And, as if to sum up- everything)
"I'll give Him Givefulness."

Dear little Jo Ann, with her "givefulness"!
(She's nearer ten than eleven).
No wonder that Jesus said, tenderly
"Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.
