Our Creator Savior

"On the 6th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me 6 geese-a-laying." hmmm, I'm seeing a poultry pattern here. Fine by me, since chicken is our go-to meal. How many ways can you prepare boneless chicken breasts? You'd be surprised... the possibilities are nearly infinite.

But I digress--sort of reflective of my brain at this time of the year, I'm afraid.

The 6 eggs symbolize the 6 days of creation--the 6 days when the world was "hatched" by God. What a gift is God's creation, and what a clear reflection of our Lord's love of beauty and creativity and glory. I think He just loves to sometimes cause us to be overcome with wonder and amazement! How can you look at a sunrise and not be awed? How can you breathe in the verdant scent of the evergreen tree and not be thankful? How can you watch the hawk soar or hear the Canadian Geese calling or feel the cool breezes blowing and not be overwhelmed with the goodness and grace of our Creator? How can you glimpse the heavens and not declare with David, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge?" Ps.19:1-2

Look around you today and rejoice at the extravagance of Your Almighty Creator. And then rejoice that Your Creator has come. He who made the heavens and the earth invaded His own creation in order to redeem those He had made... including you. Might you love and praise the One who made all and who came to save all. To our Creator-Savior be all the glory.
