John and Mary, we will call them, loved to go to the well with mamma to get water, not only because they loved to be with their mother, but their favorite pet pigeons would come there to meet them. They were so tame that they would fly on their hands, and would allow the children to pet them and hold them. The children were very careful not to hurt them, and would take food to them, and would give them water. It is good to see children gentle and kind to God’s creures. Nearly all animals love to have kindness shown to them, and we should care for and treat them kindly.
We read in the Bible about the kindness of the Lord Jesus. He was meek and lowly and loving to everyone.
He loved us so much, that He went to the cross, and died for us so that when we accept Him as our Saviour, we have eteal life. We should shovv our love and kindness to others.
