Tippy Answered:

Man was created for fellowship or communion with God. Unlike any of the other creatures, he has a fundamental likeness to God. Man is not only to have fellowship with God, he is to glorify Him, by what he is and what he does (1 Cor 10:31; Eph 1:12).

Man is also created to do God's will and work. Man was created in God's image so he might " have dominion" over the rest of creation (Gen 1:26, 28,) or perform God's work of ruling the creation in His place.

Man is most fully human when fulfilling the intention of God for him: worshiping, serving, and loving God. Of all creatures, only man has been given this blessed privilege.

 

Be Blessed

Be Blessed. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.

I forgot to ask you, what does the DYK stand for? If I had to take a wild guess, I would say "Don't you know?"

Have a Merry Christmas. It's always a pleasure communicating with you.

Close enough for an 'almost' cigar.  It's "DidYouKnow".  "Sim" was "SureItMatters".  "WWWW?" was "WhoWhereWhatWhen?"  NicJak, a combo of my last and first name.

As trilling as it gets.  Christmases are always good, the sights, smells, sounds.  (....how's that for alliteration?)

Have a Merry Christmas filled with real love....
