Sitting
on the Sofa
by
Ernestine Jeffries

In my apartment everybody sits on the sofa. My grandchildren, Que-Mauri
(he is 5), Desiree and Destiny (4 year old twins) visit with me. The
children won’t sit still.
Que-Mauri is really interested in cooking. Desiree
and Destiny like books.
I like to take part in their education. Learning
is fun. Learning is a way of life. The children like to play.
I want to teach them to love GOD, themselves, their
family and friends.
We get books from Project Read. These are some
of the books my grandchildren like to read: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,
by Laura Joffe Numeroff, published by Harper Collins; Walking With Mama,
by Barbara White Stynes, Dawn Publications; The Teddy Bear’s Dancing
Lesson, Tormont Publications, Inc.; Eye Opener Farm Animals, Little
Simon and Schuster, New York; and The Seeds that Grew to be a Hundred,
Arch Books. My favorite book is GOD Can Do Anything, by Roy Lessin.
This book was a gift to me from Sister Jackson.
We can make our dreams happen by taking control of
our destiny and learning to read. I want my grandchildren to keep trying
no matter how hard it seems.
