God's Creation

Having grown up in a Christian family, one can just imagine the number of times I have heard the creation story.  In fact, I have heard and read about it so many times that I do not feel the need to revisit it anymore until yesterday.  I started helping out in Tim and Tab, one of the programs of our church's children ministry which aims to share God's word to nonchristian children, last year.  Every Saturday, a Bible story would be told, and for Tim and Tab's first formal session this school year, the story chosen was the creation story.  While the storyteller was enumerating everything that God created, she was also showing corresponding pictures in a powerpoint presentation at the same time.  Suddenly, I realized that because only one word is used to represent the whole of God's creation (animal for all animal types, water for all water forms, etc.), I had already forgotten the diversity that these words stand for (animal for tiger, lion, zebra, elephant, etc.; water for sea, lake, river, waterfall, etc.).  God has indeed created a beautiful place for us!

If you are having the same feeling, try reading the story again, but this time enter the words in Google Images.
