A Day at the Zoo

A couple of weeks ago my three grandsons

~ my oldest daughters three boys ~

had the week off for Spring Break.

I had the joy and privilege  in joining up

with them and spending the day at the zoo.

It was a warm sunny day as we strolled

along the paths enjoying God's Creation

in the beauty of His Creatures.

~

"For every creature of God is good."

( 1 Timothy 4:4a)

My favorite of God's creatures is the penguin ~

I love Penguins!

But I didn't get to see them as they were

hiding in their little caves,

all I could see was the belly of one in hiding.

Maybe next time?

"Even every one that is called by my name;

for I have created him for my glory.

I have formed him; yea,

I have made him."

(Isaiah 43:7) 

~ All creation was made by God

and we were created for His glory ~

My beautiful daughter ~ Dawn

"Lift up your eyes on high,

and behold who hath created these things."

( Isaiah 40:26)

" All things were made through Him,

and without Him nothing was made that was made."

(John 1:3)

Look at that precious face!

Yes, God made the snakes :)

If you look closely it looks like the fish is kissing my grandson

And the underwater life

And He made my precious grandsons :)
My handsome boy's!

"So God created man in His own image;

in the image of God He created him;

male and female He created them."

(Genesis 1:27)

God's purposeful creation of the heavens and the earth

extends also to those He created in His image.

Our lives have purpose and meaning

because we are the handiwork of the creator - God who

"fearfully and wonderfully"

created us and fashioned our days before

they came to pass. (Psalm 139:14-16)

Not only are we physically created in God's image

to represent Him on the earth (Genesis 1:26-27)

we are spiritually created in Christ

when we are born again (John 3:3-8)

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,

he is a new creation; old things have passed away;

behold all things have become new.

(2 Corinthians 5:17)

I have a feeling some sand went home with these boys :)

"For of Him and through Him and to Him

                                      are all things, to whom be glory for-ever. Amen."

(Romans 11:36) 

This Gamma had a delightful day!
Gamma loves you boys!

You O God, are the creator
 of the heavens and the earth.
Thank you for the life You have blessed us with,
and may we delight in You,
as You surround us with Your glory.
Amen.

Joy!
