then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. -Genesis 2:7
The story of the creation of Man, its specifics, was placed right in the middle of the description of the forming of the Garden of Eden. The creation of Man was not placed at the beginning of the story or at the end, but placed in the middle for we were considered part of His garden. In God's garden, which had not been exposed to rain yet was a river for watering, beautiful land for growth, and trees that were beautiful to view and wonderful to eat. Man was included in God's workings as a partner, to help tend and care for the garden.
Although we may not see a garden as important like fruits and vegetables, but God did. The importance was a Father being with His children, working and enjoying each other's company. God still views each and every one of us as important. Sometimes, simple activities may come along that don't seem important, such as saying hello to a neighbor, or helping someone in need, but these are activities that the Father enjoys doing with His children. Amen!
