Sally and Sam climbed into the back-seat of their car and drove for many hours.

The new city they were going to live in was much bigger than the one they had lived in before.

The home they would live in was different too. Their mother explained that in their new home there would be other people living in the same building, only in different apartments.

Sam and Sally saw many people on the streets. They saw many people coming and going from the apartment house that was going to be their new home.

Some of the people they saw wore strange clothing. Some of the people had dark colored skin. Some had brown colored skin. Some had yellow colored skin. And some had light colored skin.

This was very strange to Sally and Sam, who had never before seen anyone who didn't have light skin like their own.

When a dark skinned man and woman introduced themselves as their next door neighbors Sally and Sam couldn't help but stare.

When the husband and wife left Sam asked his mother why the people around them looked so different.

"The people in our old home were all of white ancestry," their mother told Sally and Sam. "That means that they all came from families who had light colored skin. It's different here. We have people whose ancestors came from many different lands. Some of the people were born with white skin, some were born with brown skin, some were born with black skin and many were born with various shades in-between all these colors."

"Why did God make so many different colors of people?" Sally asked her mother. "And which color is best?"

"There is no best color, Sally," her mother explained. "God made people in so many different colors because he likes variety. Remember our flower garden?

Remember how much you liked the red roses?

Well, didn't you like the daisies too?

And the daffodils. And the pansies that Grandma grew?

All those flowers were beautiful in their own way, and they were all made by God.

The town you were raise in was like a rose garden. But our new home is a scatter garden, full of many different kinds of flowers.

When you put them all together you have a big, beautiful bouquet

It isn't what color your skin is, or how tall you are, or how short you are, or how skinny you are, or how heavy. What matters to God is how we treat one another. Those who don't show love and concern for others are like weeds in God's garden.

God wants us to be kind to all people, no matter what color their skin, where they live, how they dress or what language they speak. All people, no matter what they look like, are God's children.

Soon you'll be meeting new people and making new friends. How many friends you have will depend on how you treat others."
