Three little kittens they lost their mittens,
The three little kittens they found their mittens,
The three little kittens put on their mittens,
The three little kittens they washed their mittens,
- And they began to cry,
- Our mittens we have lost.
- Then you shall have no pie.
- Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
- No, you shall have no pie.
The three little kittens they found their mittens,
- And they began to cry,
- Our mittens we have found!
- And you shall have some pie.
- Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r,
- Oh, let us have some pie.
The three little kittens put on their mittens,
- And soon ate up the pie;
- Our mittens we have soiled.
- Then they began to sigh,
- Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
- Then they began to sigh.
The three little kittens they washed their mittens,
- And hung them out to dry;
- Our mittens we have washed!
- But I smell a rat close by.
- Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
- We smell a rat close by.
Psalm 19:14
New International Version (NIV)May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Genesis 4
Cain and Abel - Giving The pleasing sacrifice
Just like the three little kittens, Cain and Abel had a chance to do right by an authority figure, but unlike in the case with the kittens - the two brothers did not act the same way. Abel's sacrifice was the first born and best of what he had, while Cain's is presumably not. God even gives Cain a chance to admit his mistake and warns him of the sin that can be birthed by his anger. IT is important that anything we do for those in authority over us - is the best we can do. God wants us to happily do things in such as way that we are doing them for Him directly. Our attitudes are a big part of that! Will you be like Abel, or Cain? We also need to remember that there is nothing that WE can do to make it 'all better' so we have to trust in God and accept Christ within us to properly 'do right' by God. In the way we accept the sacrifice of Christ we show whether we will have sin birthed within us - or if that sin will be cleansed.
Doe Doe shows us that no matter what we do.. we cannot get out the sin that is in our lives - we need something more.. what might that be?!
