. Blind Deaf . the stars and the bright sun. Wehave better minds than animals ; we can read andlearn to do many, many things. Our minds areGods blessings. I know that God loves us dearly,and wants us to obey His laws and keep His com-mandments. He has made many people with can not see, but I know that if I am good and loveGod, when I die I shall see. I shall enjoy seeingbecause I am blind so long. We do wrong often,but God is so merciful that He will forgive us all,if we will only ask Him.
