As a community, if we link arms and lock shields of faith to deflect the effects of discouragement, I can imagine…īooks written, missionary journeys begun, Bible studies ongoing, healing, forgiveness, and renewed joy as we use our gifts to glorify God and build one another up in Christ. Link Arms to Encourage One AnotherĪll around us, we have a world that’s feeling stuck-especially post-pandemic. Whether we gather to discuss His word or to create something beautiful, there is a joy factor that rises with us as we band together as a body of believers. Because our role as the body of Christ is to equip and encourage one another. This combination is helpful when we are discouraged-and as we discover ways to climb out of the prison we feel stuck in, we can help those in our community. To spur someone along in faith while affirming their giftedness is a powerful combination for growth. This is true in the body life of the church and in our families.

Whether you quilt, knit, crochet, weave, paint, sculpt, cook…etc., creating frees our mind, shakes loose cobwebs, and gives us a new perspective.

Creating is a Gift from God – The Creator of All ThingsĬreating something beautiful is a gift endowed to us by God-the Creator of all things. Every time I look at it, I can’t help but smile. Using scraps of paper, ribbon, charms, and washi tape-together with themed paper from Etsy, we created a very unique and beautiful journal.
