Lapping

Listen from:
LOOK at the picture and see what a strange thing this little girl is doing. She is down on her knees, and with her face almost to the floor, lapping out of the kitty’s dish.
Her little companion, with dolly under her arm, is looking on evidently quite amused, —and well she might be. Even Puss seems surprised.
Little girls do not need to eat as cats and dogs do. They have tables to put their food on, and chairs to sit on while they eat.
How thankful we are that God has made us different from the animals.
We can learn to talk, read and write, which the animals cannot do. When an animal dies, that is the last of it.
“But the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Gen. 2:77And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7).
Therefore we shall never die, nor cease to exist, like the animals do.
We shall live forever, either in heaven, in bright glory with the Lord Jesus; or in hell, in torment, with the devil and his angels.
Which will it be for you, dear reader?
“THESE SHALL GO AWAY INTO EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT: BUT THE RIGHTEOUS INTO LIFE ETERNAL.” Matt. 25:4646And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matthew 25:46).
