The past few weeks have really put to test my word for the year . . . FAITH.
. . . and we are not through it by no means, but we will get through it.
One of the reasons I enjoy folding paper cranes . . . is that it is very calming for me. I have folded so many that I can do it with little thought to what I am doing. (I am pretty sure I have folded well over 2000 paper cranes)
. . . I call it my origami therapy - just what I need sometimes.
This weekend I started folding paper cranes out of paper from an old book. I hope to fold enough to cover a Christmas tree this year. I have to get started now if I am going to have enough folded by December.
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always
1 Chronicles 16:11
There is something calming about repetitive work - keeping your hands busy becomes almost meditative giving you time to think and pray. That tree will be a great project to focus on for the future.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your faith is being tested right now - but creative therapy surely helps! A book-crane covered tree will look fabulous.
