THIS little girl has her three rabbits in her apron, and, they do not seem one bit afraid that she will let them drop. Notice how carefully she holds them, but they look to be rather heavy for her to hold long.
We do like to see children careful and kind to their pets, whatever they may be —kittens, dogs. birds, etc.—to feed them well, and keep their houses clean and comfortable. They will appreciate your kindness to them, and will be friendly to you.
God made all of these animals, and He is good to all of His creatures. It is pleasing to Him when He sees us kind to them too.
Boys and girls are not always kind to each other, and this is not pleasing to God. If we are His children, through faith in Christ Jesus, we have been forgiven many, many sins, and as we remember how much God has forgiven us, we shall also be able to forgive others who may do us a wrong. Think of how many times we displease God in our ways, and how gracious He is to us.
