We used to build these, only to crush them a few weeks later.
I think this one's from 2010—so long since I huddled
with my school-age sons around this edible architecture project.
The traditional house smashing on New Year's Eve was always hard for me,
although the guys could hardly wait for that part.
Children have less trouble letting go than adults, I think.
What will we build in 2017?
How much of our work will be crushed and swept into the garbage?
What will survive to nourish and bring good pleasure to those around us?
Please join me to prayerfully consider what will be built in 2017,
in our lives and in the lives of those we love.
To ponder - Psalm 127:1
Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted.
