I wanted to be sure to give you this week's lesson. We are continuing on with the creation story and today we are focusing on Adam and Eve.
A long time ago God made the heavens and the earth. When God had finished making all things He said, "Let us make man in our own image." He made man just like Him, out of the dust. The man was called Adam.
Adam took great care of all the things God made. God gave Adam a job to name all the animals He had made. But Adam was alone, and God saw that was not good. God knew what to do.
God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. While Adam slept, God took out one of his ribs. God used Adam's rib to create a beautiful woman. Her name was Eve.
When Adam woke up, he saw Eve. Adam was happy to see her. Adam and Eve lived in the garden God had created. They enjoyed a relationship with God and with each other.
Today children are taught that they are here by chance. That people evolved from lower creatures. We want our children to know that we are God's creation. We are special. We are created in God's image and are made for a special purpose. God wants us to have fellowship with one another. And He wants us to have fellowship with Himself.
God did not make us animals. He made us different and special from animals. He made us in His own image and when He looked at Adam and Eve, He said it was good.
God gave Adam a job to do. He was to name all the animals and look after the garden. We all have gifts, and we can all serve God in some way.
The only thing we hear God saying was not good was that Adam was alone. And so Eve was created. God doesn't want us to be alone. He gives us families, friends and others to talk with us, be with us and care for us. We should thank God for those people in our lives.
God would often meet and talk with Adam and Eve. What does that tell us? God loves it when we speak to Him in prayer. He loves it when we listen to Him as we read our Bibles. God gives us a way to have a relationship with Him.
Let's remember to thank God for loving us enough to want to have a relationship with us and for making us special and unique.
That's all for this week. See you tomorrow as I continue to tell you about my Christmas season. I have to get a move on before it is next Christmas! Have a great night everyone,
Kathy
