(Grandgirls feeding “Peanut Butter” the Guinee-Pig)
Creation prayers are leading us to give thanks for the power to co-create. The man was given the gift of naming the impressive array of animals God made. We think that is wildly generous of God! “Hey, Adam, I’ll do all the science and architecture, and you get to call it whatever you want.” Ever wonder why Adam named the animals what he did?? What would you have named the platypus?
Today we’re asking, why Lorenzo named his Guinee Pig, Peanut Butter? Peanut Butter is contra-ban in our family because we have a family member with nut allergies. He said, “It’s because he looks like Peanut Butter.” Well, why not name him, Sun Butter? That’s what we eat in this family. Hmmm, it’s interesting that when we are given the power to co-create with God, what we do with that colossal freedom! Let’s be honest, we’ve done well with our freedom, not so well and we’ve blown it. What are you doing with your freedom today? Talk to God about that…we are =)
And for a little fun, here’s a song that makes us smile and wonder…
