The Truly Creative

            I was reading the work of Susan Sucher, who describes herself as a “domestic empress” when writing for the periodical, Gilbert. She was writing in the July/ August 2203, issue which was devoted to a treatment of artificial intelligence (AI), the technology looming on the horizon. Here is a brief quote wherein she relates where true wonder is to be found:

            “Women have the natural ability to facilitate one of the most sacred acts on earth – the incarnation of a new human being with an eternal soul. Similarly, but in a lesser way, all people participate in human creation when they write a poem, grow a garden, or build a home. As Chesterton points out in The Everlasting Man, ‘art is the signature of man.’ It is the eternal soul that differentiates humans and allow us to participate with the Creator to bring new creations into the world. We are most fully human when we are co-creators with God to bring forth babies, art, poetry, and the work of human hands.”

            “The power of a mother cannot be understated. Her ability to gestate, nurture, and educate her children is the closes thing to a superpower that humans possess.”

            We are nowhere near Mothers’ Day, but this was too good to postpone. God bless all of God’s co-creators!

1 Corinthians 10: 31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 

Ephesians 2: 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
