God truly gave us so many things to enjoy. His beauty can be seen in many things. But, the greatest thing he ever did was send his son to die on Calvary's cross for the sins of the world. Nothing compares to salvation. God is amazing. Good to see this post and people still giving him thanks. Even though sometimes it doesn't seem like it this world, God is still in control. May God Bless You All,
Thomas
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world throught him might be be saved. John 3:17
Yes, always pay respects to the animal for giving up it's spirit so we may use it's flesh to nourish ourselves, and pray to Great Creator to watch over the spirit and guide it safely on it's journey.
