WHAT a lot of pets! One little puppy, one little kitten, and one, two, three toys.
But what has happened to one of them? It has fallen out of the little girl’s full arms. The little girl has more pets than she can take care of, and now trouble has come.
This picture reminds us of someone else who has a big, kind heart and loved to take the children in His arms, when He was on earth. Little reader, who is this friend of children? It is the Good Shepherd who carries the little lambs in His bosom. Do you think He ever drops one? Ah, no. Although He has a great many more than our little friend in the picture, He is able to take care of every one. No enemy, not even Satan himself, is strong enough to harm or touch the many little children that Jesus loves and guards from all harm.
Night and day, in sunshine and storms, in: ide and outside, on land and on water—everywhere and always, Jesus takes care of His little ones.
“HE SHALL GATHER THE LAMBS WITH HIS ARM, AND CARRY THEM IN HIS BOSOM.” Isa. 40:11.
