This is a beautiful country scene, with the road winding through the woods, and the happy-faced children at the big gate. What do you think they are doing? The oldest child is going through the motion of making a salute. They see some one coming, and have kindly opened the gate, so this person or persons may pass through without any trouble.
The Lord is pleased when you show respect to others, especially older people; and He wishes you to show kiness to all.
When we realize how much the Lord has done for us on Calvary’s cross in bearing the judgment that we deserved for our sins, and is still caring for us each day when we are so cold and unfaithful to Him, and will soon come to take us to be in the glory with Himself for all eternity, then we are happy in serving ohers, and thinking of their needs.
