Day 5! Fish and birds, swimming things and flying things. I have a fascination with the ocean. The depth of it, the mystery of it, the many many creatures within it. I LOVE looking at the ocean, being in the ocean, sitting by the ocean, boating on the ocean, watching shows about the ocean (SHARK WEEK is my favorite week), you get the point! God didn’t have to fill the ocean with amazing creatures, but He chose to, and we get to spend a life time discovering and appreciating those creatures!
Now most of my favorite animals are found in the ocean, but if I could be any animal it would be a bird. I’ve always wanted to fly, and travel whenever, wherever by the air under my own wings!
Birds are mention many times in the Bible, we will cover two verses in our lesson series but in multiple verses God mentions that we are more valuable to Him than birds. At first that may not seem like much of a compliment but He is saying that He takes care of the birds, they don’t have storage of worms or even a house during winter in certain areas…but He takes care of them day to day. And how much MORE valuable are we that He would take care of OUR needs too. Everyday. All day. So next time you see a little hummingbird getting some nectar from one of your flowers, let it be a reminder that God provided for that sweet bird and He will provide for you!
Have an exciting time with Day 5! Read some children’s stories with fish in them, go on bird walk to find as many birds as you can, or maybe even set up a bird bath or bird feeder in your yard.

Did you know that you can purchase the blank Color Wonder Sheets and print your own coloring pages onto them? The children can use the Color Wonder markers onto your own Bible story coloring pages. The ink will smear a little bit, but all in all it works fine.

I did not know that, that could be so fun! Thanks for sharing, Mary!
