Aubrey and I played Catan Junior the other day. She is competitive, so I don’t need to go easy on her. We were only a few turns into the game and luck was flat out bad for her. My ships and lairs were piling up and she had nearly nothing.

Consider the birds
Out of the corner of my eye, I became aware of a flock of black birds flitting outside our back windows. A large number of birds flew together searching for food. It’s winter. Cold. Rather barren.

Live artfully!
I’m sharing something special with you this week! My daughter, Ellie, wrote this in her sketch pad:

It doesn’t even matter if you’re good at drawing or not, it’s art! Even if you don’t like art, things like dance, music, singing, and drama are art. It’s just the art of people. So get out there and make art!”
Walk in Love
Walking. Taking steps. Moving forward. As we enter a new year, I want to invite you to join me in taking steps to walk in love more fully!

Last week we talked about choosing to Listen to the Voice of Love. We receive love from God. As we receive His love, we express His love to others.

It is amazing that our God would connect with us this way! It is life changing when we allow His love to define who we are. Let’s listen for the voice of Love this Christmas.
