given
You=A MODEL to follow=so that as I have done for you=You
should
DO ALSO”

Se send someone=a GET WELL CARD=Call an older person=or a
person that=

Jesus was FULLY AWARE=of who he was=and that he was=THE
FATHER’S
SON=Yet he LIVED with humility=and tried to TEACH US=what it
means
To be great
He tells us=to BE HUMBLE=and he teaches us=BY THE EXAMPLE=That
