Then God said, “Let there be light”; and
there was light. And God saw that the
light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:3-4
One of the refrains of Genesis 1 is: “And God saw that
is was good.” The light, the water, the
land, the vegetations, all of creation — God saw it all and declared it
good. Imagine if we surveyed all that we
encountered and noticed — and saw that it was good. Today as you see the world you inhabit, make
a point to notice its goodness and name it so.
Write down your reflections.
Prayer:
Creator God, You make the world and call it good. As we wake and work, rest and play, open our
eyes to the holy goodness all around and even within us. Do not let us take for granted the goodness
of the meals we eat, the goodness of
the people we encounter, the goodness of the air we
breathe and the landscapes we move through every day. May we, like You, see and declare: It is
good. AMEN
Activity:
Make some timeless old-fashioned Snowflakes. Take a square piece of paper (you can cut an
8.5x11 sheet down), fold it in half then fold it in quarters, then fold again
to make a triangle. To make a more
intricate snowflake, you can fold it one more time to make a tighter
triangle. Now round off the top by
cutting. It should now look like an ice
cream cone. Cut shapes out of each long
end – small shapes and large shapes.
Open it up and magically a snowflake appears.
