God Created Everything
Place the eraser of your pencil on the dot. Let the pencil fall on one of the three pictures. Write one way you can help take care of that part of God’s creation. Repeat until you fill all of the blanks.

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. All He did was speak, and whatever He said happened. God said, “Let there be light,” and light appeared. God separated the light from the darkness. God spoke again. He commanded a large space to appear between the waters. He called the space “heaven.” Then God said, “Let the dry land appear.” He called the land “earth,” and He called the waters “seas.” God told the earth to produce fruit trees and plants with seeds, and it did. Once again, God spoke. He made the sun, moon, and stars, and He placed them in the sky to give the earth light. God told the seas and the sky to fill up with life. He created the sea animals and the birds. God created animals to live on the earth. He also created man in His own image. God created both a man and a woman. God looked at everything He had made, and it was very good.
God’s creation was finished, so God rested. He blessed the seventh day and made it holy. Genesis 1–2:3
