The Dr. Seuss Quote For Today - From There to Here . . .

The Dr. Seuss Quote for today is, "From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere!" This is mostly true! There are funny things most everywhere . . . some are easier to see than others, but there are funny things most everywhere! 

God created the world and everything in it and some of these things are funny! Consider Colossians 1:16,  "Because all things were created by him: both in the heavens and on the earth, the things that are visible and the things that are invisible. Whether they are thrones or powers, or rulers or authorities, all things were created through him and for him." 

God created all things! He created this earth, the trees, flowers, animals, birds . . . everything. When you look at creation, you are able to see many "funny things" . . . just look at the Platypus . . . a small animal found in Australia which looks like a cross between a beaver, a duck, and an otter! When people first found and brought one back to England, others thought it was a hoax, but is is real for sure! 

The Dumbo Octopus is also a pretty funny looking thing . . . it has "ear-like fins protruding from the top of their "heads" (actually bodies), resembling the ears of Walt Disney's flying elephant. They are benthic creatures, living at extreme depths, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species" 

The point is, God did create some pretty funny things and I for one am glad! I like knowing God has a "sense of humor"! Plus, God created people and we can be very funny! I know my grandsons are funny! When my oldest grandson was 18 months old he was at my home one day and saw a box of Quaker Oats on the counter. He pointed at the Quaker Oats man on the box and said, "Grandma!!!!" I said, "Hey, wait a minute there! That isn't grandma', it is a man!" He smiled, pointed at it again and said, "Lynda!" Funny little boy!!! :^) There are funny things most everywhere and I for one am glad this is true!

Be sure to point this out to the children in your family, too! Ask them to tell about some of the funniest things they have seen and lead them in thanking God for creating this world with funny things in it! Be sure to take a moment to pray for each child by name - "Thank You God for Your great love for _____! Thank You for creating everything in this world and thank You for creating funny things for ____ to enjoy! Thank You, Amen!"
