When I was young, I've always wanted to take care of a pet. I kept asking my father and mother if I can have one. After many times of asking them, my father bought me and my brother two rabbits. We named them Harry and Fuzzy. Aren't they cute in the picture? Harry is a mix of Flemish Giant and New Zealand breed rabbit. He has brown and white fur with black, round eyes and a chubby-built body. While, Fuzzy is a New Zealand rabbit. She has purely white fur with red, round eyes and a slender body. We liked playing and spending time with the rabbits. But we didn't know, aside from playing with them, that we were supposed to take care of the rabbits like feeding them two times a day, giving them water, washing their cage, and cleaning out their poop every day. It is really a hard work for me and my brother. We realized that we were not yet ready to have pets, even though it looks fun to have them around.
This experience of mine taught me that I have to be responsible with the things I receive, like pets that my dad gave me. To be responsible is to know how to take care of every thing properly. Just like the gifts we receive from God like our life or our talents, we also have to be responsible in it. It pleases God when we treat His gifts with value. So next time, if we want a pet or something else from our parents, we need to be sure we are responsible enough to take care of it.
Prayer
Lord
Thank you for giving me these wonderful gifts, like my body and your Word. Help me use these gifts wisely and use them to let other people know You and Your son, Jesus. Help me Lord to become a responsible owner of everything that you will entrust me, in Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
