David said in the Psalms, "What is man, that You are mindful of him; the son of man, that You visit him?" (Psalm 8:4)
He was asking the LORD this question. But the answer is: that we are the image of God. The book of Job says, "There is a spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, which gives him understanding." (Job 32:8)
When God wanted a family, He made you and He made me. :) The real wonder is that He loved us enough to make us at all, despite knowing how messed up we'd be. I'm just thankful for a loving and a kind father. He doesn't have to love us, after all. He chose to. And then He gave us every good thing. :)
