God Our Maker

Three year olds don't really get what an image is. So we had to start somewhere! Between drawing a picture of himself on a BIG sheet of paper (we're reusing the back sides of old posters that our church uses to advertise message series), checking out the many, many pictures around our house, and looking at ourselves in different mirrors, I think he finally got the idea.

So here's the lesson to think about this week: Remember the funny mirrors from the circus or the Magic House (for you St Louis dwellers)? Some of them make us look really tall and skinny. Some can make us look short and fat. With every mirror, our image changes! We can do that with pictures too!...If all we saw were those mirror images (or pictures other people drew or changed of us), it might be really easy to forget what we REALLY look like. Sometimes we forget what we're supposed to look like on the inside because of the sinful things we do. That's why it's important that we read our Bibles to learn more about God. He is joyful and loving, honest and trustworthy, faithful and just...and since we're made in his image we should be like that too!
