Love and courage

Blythe Evans

I know a little girl named Joy who adored her baby brother Evan. She could hardly keep from hugging and kissing him every time she saw him! Evan thought Joy was pretty special, too. Later, when Evan felt a little scared at night, he would go and climb into bed with Joy and fall asleep. Their mom used to smile when she saw them there together in the morning.

There is a little girl we read about in the Bible who really loved her little brother, too. Her name was Miriam, and do you know what her little brother’s name was? Moses.

When Moses was a baby, the Pharaoh who ruled the people tried to get rid of all the Hebrew baby boys. So Moses’ and Miriam’s mom hid baby Moses in a basket, then floated it on the Nile River. Miriam loved her brother so much she stayed to see what would happen to him.
