He took the 7th Day to rest....
(it was at that point that he began to think about his next greatest creation....)

...it is said that he began to consider what he would create and what it's color and form would be...

...so on the 8th day, God set about to come up with something that Even HE couldn't top! (not that God is competitive, mind you)....

He spent the next couple of weeks thinking of ways to come up with something that was greater than the whole of creation (which he had already just done)..
Every day, he would think about the form, color and nature of his new creation...
When it occured to him that because he was infinite and had already thought of everything to create that it would be impossible for him to "out-do" himself....
It was then that one of his highest Angels suggested that he might try making combinations of things...
...and that all he had to do is just pick one thing that doesn't change and just mix and match the rest of it...
It was, in fact, the very first time in creation that the great ONE was engaging in a bit of self- entertainment...
Oh it was SUCH A WONDERFUL DAY!
So the one thing that God decided to keep as the static fact about his new creation was the color!

One of the Angels said that the one thing which God had created that he, personally loved the best was the nose of the Elephant!

Another Angel said that his favorite created thing was the Duck.
God asked the Angel why he liked the Duck the best and the Angel answered that he liked the Duck best because the Duck could fly as well as swim.....

So God contemplated the combination of these immutable factors... the color Pink, something long like the nose of the elephant, and something that could fly as well as swim...
By then, it had been two weeks and six days so God took a day to rest, as he always does, and let the ideas kind of stew in his thoughts.
On the morning of the next day, he called all the Angles and the Seraphim together to announce his new creation...

God said:
Take another look and see the fine thing that I have created.
For I have created them many
and I have created them beautiful.
It was about then that God's favorite Cherubim said: Plus, God, you created them in a color that absolutely NObody else but YOU could work with! (and make it work)

I have given it the long neck like the elephants nose, said God...
I have given it to flight and that it may swim..
And I have used the Heavenly Color for it to clothe itself in...
and I call it good...

God was kind of expecting the whole of the Heavenly Host to applaud his new creation.
He was kind of miffed that they all seemed so reserved in their judgement and appreciation...

Even though God is Infinite, he was stumped for a name to call it.
Then he remembered that he had assigned the task of naming everything to Adam.
He called Adam forth..

Adam looked at the thing which God had created and pondered it.
The longer he looked at the thing which God had created, the more silent the entire Heavenly Host became.
Even the choir had stopped singing. Everyone awaited the name which Adam would call it.

Adam thought and thought and thought until God said:

(God was getting really cranky by now)

His beautiful creation was called a Flamingo!

God sat back on a cloud enjoying the celebration that his new creation had become.
His favorite Cherubim was at his side.
The Seraphim were telling God how magnificent his creation was.
... and the Chior sung the chant over and over and over... GODS CREATION IS CALLED A FLAMINGO...

It has been said from the Moment of Creation that God hears everything.
So even though the entire Heavenly Host was singing the song, one solitary voice asked a question:
What does it do?

and the whole of creation looked upon God's new creation...
Someone said: God it appears that its entire function is to be beautiful
(this made everyone wonder)
God turned his head to the one who spoke and pointed to the speaker.
There was an audible gasp!

And the Angel said: The Flamingo's entire function is to be beautiful and to remind the whole of creation that God the All Mighy Himself created it!
The heavens got very quiet and everyone looked toward God.
God gave a nod of his head, raised his hand and from that moment forward it was the absolute truth of it.
The entire Heavenly Host sang the song of God's newest creation and of its' beauty.
