    Did you know that Daddy specifically asked me to teach

    you this manner? Do you see how he is sending you out to

    greet and bless and give gifts (like cookies we make) to

    those he wants to thank or honor? Isn't it amazing that men

    have been sending their children to do these sorts of things

    for thousands of years? Do you think King David waspleased with Hadoram's father King Tou because of what

    Hadoram had done? Besides your earthly father, who else

    do you represent here on earth? How can giving others a

    greting be a blessing?

    the same amount of money? Why not? What were his

    they thought it was the best thing to give to you? Do you
