I am Jesus' little lamb,
Therefore, glad at heart I am,
Jesus loves me Jesus knows me,
All that's good and fair he shows me,
Tends me everyday the same,
Even calls me by my name.
Mrs. Fink learned this song when she was four years old. Her older sister, Verna, made her and her younger sister, Arliss (who was 3 years old) memorize and sing this song for a powder sugar donut. She still remembers the song today at the young age of 72. (Picture is Mrs. Fink at about 2 or 3 years old)
I looked the song up on the Internet to get the other verses and this is what I found:
I AM JESUS’ LITTLE LAMB
I am Jesus’ little lamb,
Ever glad at heart I am;
For my Shepherd gently guides me,
Knows my need and well provides me,
Loves me ev’ry day the same,
Even calls me by my name.
Day by day, at home, away,
Jesus is my staff and stay.
When I hunger, Jesus feeds me,
Into pleasant pastures leads me;
When I thirst, He bids me go
Where the quiet waters flow.
Who so happy as I am,
Even now the Shepherd’s lamb?
And when my short life is ended,
By His angel host attended,
He shall fold me to His breast,
There within His arms to rest
Words by Henrietta L. van Hayn
Each year Del and I do an Easter Hunt in my backyard for our friend's children. Our friend is like a sister and we love to do it. Her children get so excited because we tell them we contact the Easter Bunny and setup the hunt. We hide eggs with candy and money in them, and summer fun toys. This year they found NERF double barrel shot guns, snorkel sets, Easter bunny cars, jump rope, and a toothbrush for all the candy. When they got home from church, they changed to play clothes, and the hunt was on. They were screaming and grabbing and having fun. Once it was over they went through all the goodies and showed us what they found. Later, we met my mom and our other sister and all went out for Easter Dinner. I had a very relaxing and fun Easter Sunday.
