World Animal Day! People, this is important

Also, apparently it's World Animal Day! Cool! So in honor of this fact, I'm highlighting these awesome girls. First of all, I love that these girls are 12 and they are taking action - never too early to start making a difference! Secondly: God call us to care for his animals, his creation. I feel strongly that sticking animals in a small space for their entire lives just so we can stare at them is not what God had in mind when he created them, and not what he had in mind when he told us to care for them. So on this #WorldAnimalDay, let's think intentionally about what it looks like to care for creation - and do our part.

"God intended for us to help care for creation, which means we’re also here to care for the animal world if we’re going to fulfill our God-given purpose. We diminish all of creation when we don’t treat every aspect of creation with the honor that it deserves. In some ways, we diminish ourselves." ( Dr. Barrett Duke)
