Another holiday-related post here. At this time of year especially, lots of my friends are baking delicious sounding goodies, decorating with charm, packaging and delivering creative gifts, and/or surprising their children with special events.
Just listening to these amazing pursuits wears me out. And they are amazing…to me that is. Remember, I don’t cook, sew or do crafts (full confession on the About page). Creativity in these “arts” eludes me. And when others’ creativity is in full swing, as it often is this time of year, it’s easy for me to feel lacking.
But this morning it hit me. I worked a full day at home yesterday, AND kept up with the laundry AND fixed the meals AND mothered my four children throughout the day. THAT is my “thing”. That’s what I do and yes, it smacks of a certain brand of creativity. And while the holidays don’t necessarily lend themselves to giving me a venue for showcasing my brand of creativity, I resolve to 1. rejoice in the creative talents of my friends who shine at this time of year, and 2. be at peace with the talents God has gifted me with.
