Created to Create

Although not all of us are called to be artists, all of us are called to be creative. Making our home, apartment, or dorm room, a relaxed and health-giving  place in which to live, developing a garden into a pleasurable area with many indigenous plants so birds feel at home there too, raising children with skill and imagination, developing an appreciation of good music, developing taste in clothing, learning to appreciate the beauty of nature – all these are small but significant ways in which to cultivate God’s gift of artistic creativity in our lives.  The opportunities are endless.

From the book Living at the Crossroads by Michael W. Goeheen and Craig G. Bartholomew
