A lot of people, especially Christians, feel that Christmas is a time for giving. And I’m not here to tell you anything different. But if giving is the (or even a) measure of giving, then think about what an amazing Christmas those first 6 days of creation were.
Because during those very first six days God gave us the universe.
Not to mention, but I’m gonna, everything you and I need to live. And to live abundantly.
As you know, all the abundance of life there is, on our beautiful blue planet, was created during those 6 twenty-four hour days. And that’s not impossible for God. Because, well, He’s God.
Just FYI, if you have kids, or you know someone who does, I wrote and illustrated a rhyming book all about the first six days of creation. And, coincidentally, it’s called “The Very First 6 Days.”
I know. Brilliant, out-of-the-blue title.
Anyway…
Here’s a short clip from the book. It’s from the very first day:
Before there were created things, and darkness filled the air,
No world or human beings were existing anywhere.
Then God created earth and sea and all the heavens too.
There was no sun, no moon, no stars, and only God shone through.
He looked down at the waters and the dark face of the deep.
The earth was still and quiet just as we are when we sleep.
He said, “Let there be light” the way a perfect, true God could,
And then He saw the brand new light and knew that it was good.
Then God divided light and dark, and darkness He called Night.
The light would be called Day, and it was pleasing in His sight.
That evening and that morning wouldn’t be the total sum.
No, that was just the very first day. Five were yet to come.
OK, I suppose that’s enough shameless self-promotion for one day. So, share this info with everyone you know so I can keep eating for another week. You don’t wanna see me waste away, do you? Well, you can make sure that doesn’t happen by getting my book, or a t-shirt or even by sending me cookies. 🙂
You don’t even have to visit my website to stay connected. I’ll send you daily, delightful dashes of salt and flashes of light from the power of God’s love when you sign up for the FunderFlash Journal.
Stay tuned…
