A Hand Extended to a Small Creature

Care gently for the lives of small animals. They may be unable to thank you or explain their needs in words, but they are living creatures who feel hunger and discomfort. Their lives matter to me.

If an animal is in your care, attend to its food, water, and comfortable place to rest. Let your responsibility remain steady beyond moments when it seems especially endearing. Your hands reveal your heart in the way they treat a vulnerable creature.

Treat the small lives you encounter today with consideration. Quietly giving them room can also express love. I am glad to watch your hands become hands that cherish and care for living things.
