Some of Abigail’s favorite Bible verses:

“Go to the ant, oh sluggard, observe her ways and be wise,  which, having no chief, officer or ruler, prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provision in the harvest.” – Proverbs 6:6-7

“The ants are not a strong people, but they prepare their food in the summer.” – Proverbs 30:25

Grace be with you all.  Amen.  -Hebrews 13:25

Mary is the fifth eldest and fourth daughter in the Read family.  She is 10 years old and has been homeschooled all her life.  Mary loves raising animals, and currently helps with the chicken chores.  Horses are her favorite animals, and she also likes drawing, painting and baking.

Some of Mary’s favorite Bible verses:

“Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?  Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper?  The glory of his nostrils is terrible.  He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth n his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.  He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.” – Job 39:19-22
