Spend a few minutes today petting or feeding an animal. It could be a dog, cat, fish, bird or any other animal.

Christians believe that humans were appointed by God to act as the stewards of earth, and that humans are responsible for looking after both the animal and plants and ensuring their survival and development so that they may bring glory to the Lord. So petting or caring for an animal is a simple way to show devotion to God.
