WHERE WE CAME FROM

Dear Grandkids,
Let me tell you the story of where we all came from... After God created the earth, the sky, the oceans and lakes and rivers, all the plants and trees, the moon and the stars, all the fish in the sea, then the birds in the air, bugs and worms and after that He made dogs and cats and all the creatures great and small, even the dinosaurs, elephants and lions, cows, horses and pigs. Everything alive on earth today was the result of His creation, everything reproduced itself after its own kind. That's why an apple tree can't produce oranges and a pine tree can't make walnuts and a bear can't breed with a cow and dogs can't breed with birds and man can't breed with a monkey. And He did it all with only His spoken Word... After all of these things were in place on the earth it was time for Him to make us humans. Then God formed the first man out of the dirt of the earth, some say He used clay but what ever the kind of dirt He used was from the ground. Then He breathed His Spirit into the nostrils of the man and the man became a living soul. Now the man could walk and talk and think. And he was God's special creation. There was not another creature on earth like him because God made man in His own image. Male and female He made them. God made man because He wanted someone to Love Him and someone for Him to love, you see, God is "love." He called the first mans name Adam and his wife's name was Eve.
God put the first man and woman in a beautiful garden, surrounded by all the other creatures He had made. Man did not have to worry about anything because God provided everything for them  to be happy and content. The wild animals then were no danger to people because God made them all friendly to each other were under Adams control. Adam even got to name all the animals, wow imagine that! God brought all the animals one by one to Adam to see what he would call it.

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."  Genesis 1:26-27

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You Lord for Your Word and all the wisdom and knowledge it gives us. Thank You for loving us and being our Provider, our Protector, our Healer, and our Savior. Help us to know You better and understand why we are here and what we are suppose to be doing here. Help us to learn Your Word and share it with others, everyone who wants to know and even those of us who don't want to know must at least hear it from somewhere. Thank You for being Our God and drawing us closer to you by Your Word and Spirit... In Jesus name make it so.
