SWIRLS OF NURTURE

Sometimes I feel like a creator, sometimes I feel like a teacher,  sometimes I feel like a worshipper, 
sometimes I just feel three worlds swirling, colliding, morphing into new worlds . . 
. . . yet with each swirl the need to nurture . . .
. . . nurture midst fragile creations, vulnerable artists, emotive questioning soundscapes, wondering and wandering thoughts, midst a church wondering how to create in the image of the One who created all.

The Importance of Children Helping

Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Hebrews 13:16
​

In times of stress and trauma, it is good to have things that take our minds off the past trauma and present anxiety. It is good to feel needed. This is also true for children. Therefore, we should give them any tasks that they are capable of doing. Even if monotonous and very routine; even if we could do it, and maybe do it better.
​

It is important that we do not forget to thank them and praise them when they are successful.  We should let them know that they are making a valuable contribution. If they remember to do something without telling, praise them for remembering.

Successful completion of a task will help counteract feelings of things being out of control.  It will give a sense of security and being in control. It also teaches them to live a life of worship since as today’s verse tells us, doing good and sharing is a sacrifice that is pleasing to God.
