Often when I teach my art students about creativity we take some time to look up or read about creatures like the ones in this video.

We talk about how much fun God must of had as He thought up the earth and created all of the plants and animals and people. We imagine him thinking, Hey, what if I put a light on that fish’s head, or a duck bill on that platypus?

And then we talk about the fact that each of them are made in the image of our creative God and that every single one of them is born creative. That there is no one else on all the earth that can draw, or write, or dance, or sing, or paint, or come up with a business plan, or a way to teach, or garden, or cook, or… whatever…exactly like them. That they are completely unique and so is each of their creations.

I ask them to fearlessly explore the possibilities of their creativity and to take time to discover what God has designed them to do.

And as we talk about this I realize how often I forget the wonder if it all myself and how much love it must have taken for God to make such an amazing world for us.

So I’ve decided to take a little time once a month to reread Genesis 1 and 2. To picture my Father God creating this wondrous world from nothing. And to make time every day to stop long enough to notice the gifts of that creation.

To remember the wonder of it all.
