THE dear little children are having a good time, as they call it, having no care or even thoughts about how to get their food or clothing, but are passing their time making mud pies.
God has not intended them to have any responsibility of earning their food and clothing, or to provide a home, but God has provided parents, and given them the ability to care for the children, and to earn money to buy the things that they need, and watch over them, and give them instructions, as the dear little ones do not have proper judgment.
How wonderful and good it is of God to thus watch over all His creatures, and so graciously provide for them. Let us not forget to thank Him, and trust Him, for everything.
Let us ever remember also, that God has not withheld from us the dearest object of His heart, which is His beloved Son, for He has given Him to be a sacrifice for us, and if we believe this, we then can say in the words of Scripture,
