February:in the beginning

In The Beginning

Think of the dark. Make it darker. Think of the darkest dark. In the beginning there was nothing but dark.

Then God spoke: "Let there be light." And the very first light shone brightly.

God spread the sky wide above the ocean, and folded the land to make hills and valleys.

God covered the earth with plants: grasses and flowers, vegetables and trees.

The sun shone in the daytime, and the moon and the stars waited for their turn in the night-time.

God made all the creatures. Birds flew in the sky.

Fish swam in the seas. Animals leaped and ran and scurried and hurried all over the land.

They made holes and burrows and nests and dens. Then God made people.
