We are God's children. He loves you, Shingo Katori. God made us and loves us all. Because God cares about you, Shingo, He watches over evrething you do in Tokyo. He watches you wherever you go. God is happy that you like playing with Takuya, Goro and Masahiro. He is pleased when you are kind to others.
God gave you eyes to see, Shingo. During your day, you can see the rising sun, smiling faces, fluttering butterflies, blooming flowers, floating clouds and colorful rainbows. At the end of your glorious day, you see the setting sun, the rising moon and the twinkling stars. Some evenings, you can also see blinking fireflies or lie safely tucked in bed and watch lightning flash across the sky. God paints such a beautiful picture for you each and every day, Shingo! Please take time to enjoy His artwork.
There are many happy sounds in the world, Shingo. God gave you ears to hear all of them. His animals can talk to you and to each other. Have you listened to what they say, Shingo? Puppies bark, kittens meow, ponies whinny, cows moo, ducks quack and birds chirp. Some of the best sounds are grandparents telling or reading a story, children laughing and people singing. Sounds of nature include the trees rustling in the breeze, a babbling brook in the forest and the clap of thunder in a rainstorm.
God gave us not only our hands but also our whole body with which to touch His miracles. How grand it is to be able to feel so much throughout your day, Shingo! Your favorite touches are probably the hugs and kisses you give and receive. It is nice to feel the wind on your skin, the soft fur of a pet, a smooth rock and even the heart beating in your body. Close your eyes, Shingo, and imagine other things you would like to touch. What would they be? What do you see - in your mind?
God loves you, Shingo. He wants you to love everyone. When you love Him, your heart is filled with His love. You can share His gift of love with others. Love is kind. You show your love for others with kindness. Shingo, can you remember some of the times when you were nice to Takuya, Goro and Masahiro? You must learn to treat others the way you want them to treat you. This is called living by the Golden Rule.
Shingo, faith and patience are two gifts that might be a little hard for you to understand. Faith is trust. God wants you to be faithful and believe in Him. You can't see Him with your eyes, but He is always there with you. Have you ever wanted something "right now," Shingo, but you couldn't have it? Maybe you wanted a new toy; however, you had to wait until a special day to get it. That is patience. We must have faith and patience to believe that God knows what is best for us. God has a purpose for your life, Shingo, and for everyone.
What would your life be like, Shingo, if you did not have the gift of forgiveness? The words "I'm sorry" are very special when someone says them to you or when you say them to others. Did Takuya, Goro and Masahiro ever make you really angry? When you forgive a person, your heart is filled with God's love and it shows. We all make mistakes, Shingo. Only God is perfect! If you do something wrong, tell God and ask Him to forgive you. God is always ready to forgive you because He loves you and cares about you.
Shingo, this is a special bedtime prayer that many little boys and girls say each night: Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. God, go with me through the night, And wake me with Your morning light. Author unknown
