A World of Wonder
Before there were gardens, birds, or bright mornings, the creation story tells of God making a world full of possibility. Light and darkness had their places. Water and dry land had theirs too.
Plants grew. Stars shone. Fish filled the water and birds moved through the sky. Animals lived on the land, and people became part of the world. Again and again, the story describes creation as good.
Rabbi Moose invites his listeners to pause. A tiny leaf, a cloudy sky, and a friend’s face are all worth noticing. Wonder can begin with something very small. When we care for the world, we help keep its goodness close.
