Rules

Today, one of my students, C, who has autism, wrote this little ditty:

God is a great guy.
He gives you the chance to be a saint and to stand near him
And hold his hand and not let go.
Satan wants you to lose
But God wants you to win!
Keep on trying and pushing for better things,
and to follow the path of Christ being the best you can be
and more.
There are alot of rules in life.
Rule number one:
LOVE GOD
Number two:
LOVE EVERYONE
Number three:
LOVE YOURSELF
These rules will make you a better person.
My rules are: Never join Satan or else. Its bad to go that way, God was there for you your whole life...Satan is not.
That is all i'm saying.

Love the earth
Do not hate
LOVE
Love Jesus
Love your family
Recycle- it saves energy.
