So the Summer went by so quick, and no posts on here during that time. Life took over and the fun things, the craft past times seemed to happen less and less. One great opportunity I did have was to host a 2 hour "creativity session" at Lifehope for some of my colleagues. It was a fantastic chance for me to explore the subject of creativity, look at theories,what others say about it, how we can use it to engage with the community but more importantly look at God, as the ultimate crafter. God's touch to detail can be seen throughout the bible and throughout human life and nature. I want to study this more.
We are so blessed to be able to look at art, look at crafts and see beauty in it. I was so struck by the poppy display at the Tower of London when we visited recently. What an amazing and simple concept, but one that is impacting the community and those from around the world who visit and see it first hand. One red handmade ceramic poppy to commemorate every British and Commonwealth death during the First World War. Even in death we can offer up beauty, to help us remember lives laid down.........
