His image

In Bible this week, we've been talking about how we are created in God's image...all of us, every single part! It brings me joy to hear my kids brainstorm out loud and wonder about God and His greatness and how He was able to make us so cool. I love their questions like why do I look like my mom? Or why did he make my dad fat? Or deeper ones like why did He create this baby, only to have it die so soon? Or harder ones, like how does God create babies, like you know, where do they come from Miss Griggs? :-) I enjoy teaching these kids everyday. They stretch me, challenge me. I love looking out and seeing God in them. I love seeing different faces, skin, 14 different accents, hearing different languages, and then worshipping the same God, our one Creator. He is in us, and we are in Him!

We wrote thank you notes to God, thanking Him for creating us in His image.....

What can you thank Him for today? Your eyes to see His wonders? Ears to hear? A sharp mind? Wisdom to know? A mouth to speak His truth? A bold Spirit to step out in faith? What can you thank Him for today? We are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image! How cool!
