HOW much these cattle seem to like the water; they have hunted this marsh to get away from the heat. The trees, too, spreading over the water makes it more comfortable for them here. We are glad they can have such a refreshing spot.
Not only cows like to wade in water, but how much little boys and girls enjoy doing so, too! You have been wading at some time I know; how cool the water seemed to your tired, hot feet, and how you liked’ to splash about in it. These little lakes and marshes are of so much comfort to us.
Isn’t it good of the Lord to give you these things for pleasure, as well as the things which supply your needs? But these things you can enjoy only as long as you live down here on the earth. Does His love for you stop here? No indeed, He has made a way for you to be saved, so that you can go to heaven if you should die, and have eternal life with Him. How has He made this way possible? It was by the death of His Son, and if you believe in Him as your Saviour, you can be sure of happiness not only in this life, but for eternity. Do you know that you are a sinner? Have you been to Jesus to ask Him for forgiveness of your sins? Where will you spend eternity?
