"God is good, God is great and He loves me, this I believe because He told me so. When I think of God in these simple terms, I relax and feel comfortable inside. I feel protected in this big, mysterious world of ours.

I believe in Prayer! Prayer is talking to God. It isn't about begging for things you want. I believe God answers our prayers, although the answer may not be what we had in mind. God is wise, and I have learned to trust Him."

This Sunday School song keeps the message simple. While you listen to the music, read these lyrics:

"Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so; Little ones to Him belong, They are weak, but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me, yes, Jesus loves me, yes, Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so."

What are your beliefs? In my job as a COTA, I work with people who have to deal with illness and injury. Their experiences often cause them to think seriously about their values. If you have been through a major life threatening illness, or know someone who has, I'd love to hear how you are coping. E-mail me at caro at chipsters dot com. I'd love to hear from you.
