What Did God Do On the Seventh Day

On Day One God created the Heavens and the Earth On Day Two He firmed up the sky On Day Three to dry land He gave birth On day Four He created the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars we navigate by On Day Five He created all life in the water, all the fish in the sea On Day Six He created life on land: birds, animals, humans -- Adam and Eve What He created next was for all life on Earth, especially for you and me A Day of Perfect Rest, the Crown Jewel of Creation, A Day for all Eternity So, what did He do on that Holiest of Holies, the Sabbath Day? Why, He rested from all of His creative labors, that's plain to see Instructing humankind to do the same, to glorify and praise Him To bring Heaven and Earth in sync for a day, in glorious harmony Entry in "What Did God Do on the Seventh Day" contest Sponsored by: Curtis Moorman

Great imagery in these lines: " On Day Two He firmed up the sky On Day Three to dry land He gave birth". i was raised resting on the Sabbath and still can't break that habit. Good luck in the contests!
