Winnie laid away her largest, rosiest apple to give to a sick girl. “What do you do that for?’’ asked Johnnie.
“Because I want to please God, and He likes me to be kind to sick people.”
“Do you think God cares about such little things?” said Johnnie. “Isn’t He busy taking care of big things? He has to make the sun rise and set, and to make things grow, and keep people alive. Would He have time to care for a little sick girl?”
Winnie pointed to mamma, who was just then lifting the baby from the crib. “Do you think mamma is so busy with the big folk that she forgets the baby? Of course not; she thinks of baby first, because he is so little that he needs her most. Don’t you think God knows how to love as mothers?”
