So Do It

"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it." ~Kurt Vonnegut.

Many people feel they have no creative ability whatsoever. Yet, we all perform many creative tasks throughout our day. My husband, for example, loves to cook. What he does with crabcakes, grilled chicken, and pasta definitely fall into the creative aspect of life. He even presents his entrees with pizzazz. He is a food artist.

Some people are creative in problem solving. Others flourish in organization. Still others find unique ways to entertain guests.

Not the "creative" arts, you say.

Really?

Creativity comes in many packages. Just take a stroll through a craft store. Not everyone likes paints, brushes, and canvases (my personal aisle). Not everyone excels in music or in the performing arts either. But we all have a niche to release our creative flow. God handed us each a cupful of creativity to make our souls grow.

What's your niche? How have you been using it to glorify God?

See you in a twinkling,
Brenda

  1. Beautiful website! Did you design it? I love it. Easy to read and navigate.

    You are one talented lady. I know this, people say I can write and speak, but I sure can't do a thing with scissors. Whatever we do, may we do it all for the glory of God!

  2. "We all have a niche to release our creative flow". I believe this 100 percent. Some niches are valued more here on earth but as Jesus said, "The first shall be last and the last shall be first". Let's get busy using out talents everybody!

    Yes, Elaine, I designed it, well with the help of blogspot.
    Colleen, I needed your reminder.
    Isn't it wonderful how God uses our ministries to ministry back at us?
    See you in a twinkling.
