Valerie, Carla, Rachael and Kelsey,
I thought you might want to see the finished bulletin board you started with the kids.
We have been working on creation for a month and each week we would work on a different day or two of creation.
We started with a big blank blue canvas and each week we would add to it.
Glittery stars in red or green, fluffy cotton clouds, every color bird imaginable.
We have purple fish and orange elephants.
Blue trees and yellow turtles.
While the kids version of creation may not be true to life it is no less beautiful.
Can you just see God painting our skies in majestic colors, coloring the wings of a butterfly in tones that rival the most precious jewels, flowers in every shade from the deepest most saturated colors to the most delicate pastels. His imagination knows no bounds and was unlimited. His creativeness was endless. As we grow older we lose some of the wonder of this beautiful world and we reign in our imagination.

What a shame.
When we are told we must be like little children to enter into the gates of heaven I think that in large part it is to believe that with God everything is possible. Even creating something so complex and perfectly balanced as our amazing world from nothing.
The kids love to stand and look at their work and they proudly show it off during the week to their friends and parents. I think it is a great opportunity for the children to teach their friends about what they are learning every week.
Take the time to look at a sunset, follow the path of a butterfly, smell the richness of fresh cut grass, make a wish on a falling star and look for the man in the moon.
Nothing is by accident and it was created for our enjoyment by an awesome God.
