While playing catch up with one of my husband’s nieces, I was complementing her on some of the things that I had seen them make for their little one. She said these words and they stuck with me. She said, “yes, we like to make all we can.” In a fast pace world that we have all been accustomed to, we are so used to getting what we want instantaneously. Drive up, talk to a box, drive forward and waaaallaaa a hamburger and fries are handed out of a window. Hey, if we want new furniture, there is always that trusty old charge card.
Times are changing drastically. People are losing their jobs. Hours are being cut back. Instability and change is our “NEW” life. Hopefully, not for long but it is for now.
Proverbs 31 tells us about the virtuous woman. She looked well unto her household, and eateth not the breath of idleness.
I want to encourage you to learn to make things. Learn to maybe make bread or pie crust or maybe learn to sew or write a story. Don’t allow yourself to become idle. We need to stay busy. Idle minds wander and worry. We need the sense of accomplishment. We need the critical thinking. But, most of all while our hands are busy, let’s keep our hearts and thoughts toward the Lord. The Bible started out in the very first verse that, “In the beginning, God created…..’ Let’s get started, and go CREATE! 🙂
