Last Sunday was our first official week of our summer curriculum, and we're starting at the beginning. Genesis, that is. Creation. One of my absolute favorite passages of the Bible. Here I see my God moving and creating, loving us and everything else into being. It's incredible. I'd encourage everyone right now to pick up your Bible, turn to Genesis 1-2, and absorb it slowly. Read and reread. Sit with it. Think about it, as Allie would command. Because here in this passage we find answers to many of life's greatest questions:
Who are we? Where did we come from? Why are we here?
People spend their lives wrestling with these questions, our society constantly discusses these publicly. But here, in the first chapters of the Bible, we read that we are God's children and treasured creation. God created us to be in relationship with him, and to take care of the rest of God's creation. It's fascinating, it's beautiful.
So in class, to help teach this passage, we made a collage showing what God made on each day. Then we read the book "In The Beginning There Was No Sky" by Walter Wangerin and Lee Steadman. Highly recommend this book!
