This is the time of year when decorations adorn homes, and handmade creations are on the mind of every crafty person young and old.

Enjoy this stream of social media encouragement to be persistent, develop a growth mindset, encourage others and yourself, and assorted ideas and opinions on how to bring out the resiliency that God has instilled in us all.

Grab the glitter and the glue, the paper and the pipe cleaners, the rulers and the markers—it’s National Craft Month!
