November 20 – Photo of the Day = Gratitude
I’m grateful for creativity and those who encourage me in this endeavor. Colette is the encourager in this case. She graciously had me over and showed me how to use a cricut & cuddlebug. Look closely at the envelope. It is embossed “Thank you.”
I had an awesome time learning and visiting. Thanks, Colette, for your generous and fun personality.
One class I took at Western Seminary was “Loving God and Others.” We learned that we need to be emotionally, spiritually, and physically sound in order to love well.
Under spiritually I have the following sentences in my notes:
“In what areas are you creative? Are you taking time to express your creativity? You need 2-4 hours of this weekly!!! Are you using your creativity for immoral or destructive purposes?”
In some mysterious way using our creativity connects us to God. That is true for me. But I have been sadly negligent in allowing myself to create on a weekly basis. Since my schedule is more sane now, I will regularly engage in this activity that rejuvenates me and connects me with God.
What creative project(s) are you working on? How does using your creativity make you feel?
