Creative Being

Genesis 2:7, 8, 15-20

Riddle: God made me alive. I used my mind to do a job for God. Who am I?

My Story: God formed me of dust from the ground. He breathed into my nose the breath of life. I came alive. God planted a garden. He put me in it to take care of the garden.

Out of the ground, the Lord God made every beast. He made every bird of the heavens. He brought them to me to see what I called them.

One flying thing had wings of many colors. I called it dragonfly. A large beast with four long legs had a round belly. Below its belly hung a soft bag with four tubes. I pressed one. It was soft. Warm fluid came out. I tasted it. It was good. I named this beast cow.

A creature with fur rubbed my leg. It meowed. I aimed the tube and pressed the liquid I called milk on its mouth. The animal licked the milk with its tongue. I called it cat.

A bird walked by me. At the tips of its long, many-colored feathers, it had shiny objects shaped like eyes. I sighed at its beauty. I called it peacock. God created them all. As a creative being, I named them well.

Bonus: Name God’s garden.
