Have you ever had or taken care of an animal before? It could be anything, a dog, a cat, a guinea pig, a goldfish? From the time I was eight until I was about twelve I had two catfish that were all mine. They had their own tank and even though they were just fish I felt so important and grown up taking care of them each week. But then when I was twelve I accidently used the wrong kind of cleaner while I was cleaning their tank and killed both of my catfish I felt so bad.
If you have ever taken care of the animal before you know that you have a special relationship with it because you care for it. Well the Bible tells us that Jesus is like that with us. The Bible describes Jesus as our shepherd. That means he cares for us and takes care of us just like we take care of our pets. He loves and wants to protect us and care for us. We can trust in him to never mess up like I did with my catfish.
Activity: Talk about the pets you have or why you don’t have a pet. Why is it important for us to learn how to care for something else.
