Creator created

This is the last of the prayer experience stations I'll post. At this station, we made a Christmas tree ornament. I suppose the contemplation could take place during any creative process- perhaps even assembling Christmas gifts ( of which I am doing a lot this Christmas Eve.)

Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human.
It was an incredibly humbling process.
Philippians 2: 4-8 (The Message)

At this station, you'll find a pattern and pieces to make an ornament for your Christmas tree. As you use your hands to create something, think about Christ, through Whom the Bible says all things were made. (John 1).

Consider that the Mighty Creator of all things became one of His created.

Even more amazingly, think of the Most High taking the form of a tiny, pink & wrinkly, helpless newborn baby. Our Maker needed someone to change His diapers. The One who created the entire world needed someone to carry Him from place to place.

The God who holds us in the palm of His hand needed someone to hold him carefully and support His head.

As you, created in His image, create in His image, thank Him for what it means that Christ joined creation to change the world.
