Our family was out of town for a three day weekend. Since the entire family was going we had to leave our cat at home alone.. We had provided her with all the food and water that she would need and we felt confident that she would be fine for that relatively short time. When we returned home she came running down the stairs from the second level. As soon as she saw us she started meowing. "Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow." Normally, she's a very quiet cat, so this was so unusual. She also nudged us and wanted major petting. You could just tell how excited she was and how happy she was to see us.
It was a joy to see her this way. She was so much like a human, so full of emotion. Yet God says that humans and animals are different. Only humans are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). But our animal friends are still the creation of God and deserve kind and loving treatment. After all, they were made for God and for man. As any pet lover can attest, animals give us so much pleasure, love, joy, companionship, and so many other things!
