The world of Animal Crossing is filled with fun objects to find, collect and decorate our virtual homes with, but many of the coolest items in the game require a little bit of good ol’ fashioned DIY (do it yourself). From tracking down the actual DIY template itself to sourcing all of the unique materials required to complete the build, these items require us to do more than simply ordering one for delivery to our mailbox… they can’t be bought or found through any process other than diligently applying ourselves to constructing them by hand. Animal Crossing is full of good gifts to enjoy, but some assembly is still required.

While there is NOT a verse in the Bible that says “God helps those who help themselves”, all of Christ’s lessons contained verbs commanding us to “GO out into all the world”, “SEEK first His kingdom”, “BUILD on His foundation”, “SHINE our light”, and “INVEST our talents”.  The gifts of the Lord are freely given to each one of us with an expectation for us to USE them, and they require our intentional activation of them to achieve their intended purpose. One of Christ’s harshest recorded judgments was directed at the servant who was given talents to use and chose to hide them, so let’s use our God-given talents today to build and grow the kingdom of the Lord… it’s the reason that He gave them to us in the first place.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them. Romans 12:6a

So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, “Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.” His lord said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” Matthew 25:20-21
