GROWTH - WHERE DOES CREATION
FIT IN

-

if you want to make sugar cookies:

you need the correct ingredients - you need to follow the recipe

you need to do each step correctly

you need to bake them

if you are going to decorate sugar cookies

you need to shape the cookies correctly before baking

you need to let the cookies cool - you need the correct ingredients

you need to take each step in order

you need to work deliberately and with care

it helps to have a pattern

it works best if someone teaches you first

or should I say works along side you

God created people

to grow we need all of the right ingredients

we need to be shaped correctly before baking

we need to take each step in order

growth requires working deliberately and with care

we grow best when someone works along side of us

God established the recipe

and process for growing people

in the creation

and each new one needs to

follow the plan

work in relationship with others

as well as have the touch of the master's hand
