Acknowledgments
I would like to give special thanks to my husband Roy Yelvington, for helping me with grammar, punctuation, and putting the book together as a whole.
My daughters, Tina Fischer for color graphics and putting things in order and Teresa Hersey for grammar and punctuation of the book. Their encouragement to publish my stories was constant.
My son, Marty Yelvington and his wife Mandy for their encouragement to get this book published.
For my daughter in Alabama, Judy Herron, who is also a Bible teacher, for encouraging me and edging me on.
For my son-in-law, Grady Fischer, retired school teacher, who helped with the editing and encouragement to have it put together.
My Pastor, LeVoy Newton, Jr., for encouraging me each time I came to church to “Don’t give up Mrs. Laura, you can do it.” His accomplishment of writing and publishing a book inspired me to do the same with my stories.
And most of all, I give God thanks for inspiring me to write and illustrate all the stories.
Larry Love Helps Frankie Faith
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, f aith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22 & 23

T his is Larry Love. He loves to play and have fun with his friends. Today is his first day of school. Larry Love can’t wait to go to school to see who is going to be in his class. He is so excited, he starts running to school. While he was running, he saw Frankie Faith.

Frankie Faith was on his way to school too. He saw Larry Love and started running to catch up with him. But he was not paying attention to where he was going.
 
Then all of a sudden “Oh no!” hollered Frankie Faith. Frankie Faith had tripped over a big rock and fell down on the ground.
He started crying and holding his head. “Oh my head,” said Frankie Faith.
Larry Love stopped when he heard Frankie and ran over and said “Frankie Faith are you O.K.?”
“Oh no!” said Frankie Faith, “I hurt my head.”

 
“Oh, I’m sorry, let me get some water from my backpack,” said Larry Love.
