For a real treat, take a look at Peter Kreeft's book Before I Go: Letters to Our Children About What Really Matters. In the book he passes along his words of wisdom to his children and we get to listen along. Here is one of the short letters, and not particularly representative of the rest, but I thought it was interesting:
"If God became a cat instead of a man, wouldn't you revere cats?
Well, God became a man. Why don't we revere man more?
If He had said, "Whatever you do to one of the least of these my cats, you do to me," would we go around dissing and dismissing cats? No, we'd see God every time we looked at the littlest kitty cat.
Too bad we don't revere each other as well as we'd revere cats."
