 Dear Jesus,
Guide me as I learn today
How to live this life on earth
To face it’s struggle and it’s strife With your wisdom and your grace
And improve my worth
Not just the lesson in a book
Or how the rivers flow,
but how to choose the proper path
Wherever I may go
To understand eternal truth
And know the right from wrong
And gather all the beauty of a flower
and a song
For if I contribute,
and help the world to grow.
Then I shall feel that I have succeeded
and filled my place.
And so I ask your blessing,
Dear Jesus ,
that I may do my part
To study well and study hard,
with confidence and character
And happiness of heart.
AMEN.

Rules for Adding Integers

Rule 1: In adding Integers

with the same sign, add
the integers and then
copy the common sign.

Rule 2: In adding integers

with different signs,
subtract the integers and
then copy the sign of the
integer with greater
absolute value.
