This treehouse at Treehouse Point near Fall City is nestled along the Raging River that flows into the Snoqualmie River. I admired the ingenuity and creativity it took to build a small house on a tree. When walking inside the treehouses at this location there is no creaking, and it just feels solid.

It makes me think about the opportunities for creativity that God provides for us. It seems like a few things are necessary for creativity to flourish. Freedom is important because without it, there is little choice in what activities may be done. Support is needed by those around who provide an environment that allows ideas to thrive. Safety and resources also come to mind. It also takes love to provide an impetus for doing something that benefits other people.

Let’s take advantage of opportunities for creativity as we channel God’s love in our everyday lives.
