Creation

Weekly Photo Challenge: Through

| Sandra Pavloff Conner

This week I’m sharing a photo that was taken by a good friend of mine who is a professional photographer. Terry Valley lives in Wisconsin, and most of his work features various aspects of God’s beautiful creation as seen in that area. This photo is one of my favorites of his and is used with several others in a line of greeting cards called the “God’s Green Earth Collection.”  It was taken in the very early morning, and I thought it was a good example of seeing “through” the stand of trees to that beautiful white horse in the field beyond.

Anyone interested in seeing more of Terry’s work or contacting him about it
is welcome to send me a comment requesting more information.

Creation – Behind the Scenes: A One-Act Play

| Sandra Pavloff Conner

 

Time: Creation, Day 6

Place: Heaven, looking down at Earth

Cast: God, One Inquisitive Angel

 

Conversation:

Angel to God: “What are you doing, God?”

God: “Creating a man.”

Angel: “What are you going to do with him?”

God: “Love him.”

Angel: “What will he do for you?”

God: “Give me pleasure.”

Angel: “Will he give you pleasure that is different from what the rest of your creation gives you?”

God: “Oh, yes.   He will be a speaking spirit just like me, who will have the ability to choose by his own free will to love me and communicate with me constantly.”

Angel: “Have you thought that he might use his free will to choose not to love you?  He could end up giving you a lot of trouble.”

God: “Oh yes, he will give me a lot of trouble. … But he is worth it!”

 

(Oh that we would see ourselves as God sees us!)

Love: It’s Universal

. . . and this is where the sun kissed the earth.

 

LOVE:  It flows throughout our universe!  In fact, it created our universe! (God is Love, 1 John 4:8).
