Making

I have developed quite an urge to make things over the past few years. I've done a little painting, sewing, woodburning, and other 'crafting', and it is so satisfying to produce something that I like and give it to someone I love, even if it's just a simple apron or Christmas ornament. Is this one of the ways we are 'in God's image'? Look at all the beautiful gifts he gives us each day.. I find there's a particular pleasure in looking at something I made and that I'm pleased with despite its flaws. Remember when God looked at it all and said it was good? Is that something like trying on the apron and looking in the mirror, or spreading the quilt out on the table just to enjoy looking at it?
