Buby's Bible Study

You already know we're huge Eloise Wilkin fans. Her instantly recognizable soft illustration style is even more lovely and inspirational when paired with timeless messages about God's love for children. This latest edition of the classic Prayers for Children combines stories from the original tome by the same name and My Little Golden Book About God--both by Wilkin. One of Buby & Co's favorite stories goes like this:

Father, We Thank Thee

For flowers that bloom about our feet,

Father, we thank Thee,

For tender grass so fresh and sweet,

Father, we thank Thee,

For the song of bird and hum of bee,

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee

For blue of stream and blue of sky,

Father, we thank Thee

For pleasant shade of branches high,

Father, we thank Thee

For fragrant air and cooling breeze,

For beauty of the blooming trees,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee

For this new morning with its light,

Father, we thank Thee,
For rest and shelter of the night,

Father, we thank Thee,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee

--Ralph Waldo Emerson
