On the 3rd day God created the Trees and the pine cones too.

In our Puggles class(Awana) on Wednesday nights we have been learning about creation. We have learned that on the 1st day God created Light, on the 2nd day God created the sky, and on the 3rd day God created the trees, the grass, and the flowers. Well today on the way home from church Jacob was telling me about the trees and I reminded him that God made the trees on the 3rd day. He immediately replied, "and the pine cones too mommy!" At first I just said a simple "yes, Jacob and the pine cones too". But then as I thought about Jacob being excited about the pine cones I was reminded that as adults sometimes we need to take time and see things in a child like manner. Too often as adults we take some of the most simplistic things and make them difficult. We need to take time and enjoy the simple things in life and just let simplicity be simple. We need to take time to marvel at the wonders of some of the little things in our lifes.
Yes, on the 3rd day God did create the trees and pine cones too. Have you ever stopped to really think about the details of a pine cone? Pine cones are things that as adults we view as a simple object that we use for kids crafts, decorations during certain times of the year, and also a sometimes being annoying if we have a bunch in our yards. Well, God took time on the 3rd day to construct even the smallest of details of the pine cones with a purpose in mind. God has also taken time and created each one of us with a purpose in mind. We are each created in his image but with different details that are uniquely ours. Are we taking time to explore our unique details and live our lifes for God's purpose? Are we taking time to relect on the small and simple things in life? It is often through the simplest of things that we hear God the clearest.
