When we hear the word creativity we respond in a handful of ways.
Many of us get excited. We love everything to do with creativity. We can draw or paint, sing or dance, and LOVE the arts.
Others of us break out into a cold sweat thinking about that one art class we had to take in high school.
Still others of us simply ignore it. We think we’re just not creative. Never have been; never will be.
And if you look at your kids, I bet at least a few of them feel the same way. They hate being on stage, they have no rhythm, can't play an instrument, and start to flip out when they see a box of crayons. For whatever reason, they've been taught to think about creativity in terms of arts and crafts, music and dance.
But there's something about creativity that we all need to remember. We're not creative because of our talents. We're creative because that's how God made us. He designed each of us with a mind to think beyond ourselves and imagine the possibility for, well anything.
It’s God's image in us that gives us the capacity to see beyond the ordinary and to understand a dimension of life that a dog, or a tree, or a whale cannot experience. Our imagination—our creativity—is a reflection of His image.
That’s why we’re taking the month of October to look at CREATIVITY: using your imagination to do something unique.
