While crafting new items is a core part of the Animal Crossing experience throughout the year, the unique crafting recipes and resources that can ONLY be obtained during specific seasonal events take on a special level of urgency. From the extremely limited time period that cherry blossoms can be harvested to the holiday crafts that only appear for a few weeks a year, if I’m going to unlock ALL of them that doesn’t leave a lot of time for unrelated pursuits. To get the best rewards, I have to focus on acquiring the right items and gathering all the limited time options while they can still be found… and that means my regularly scheduled program has to wait.

Many times in life I have been guilty of allowing my busy schedule to get in the way of listening for the Lord’s voice, and if I’m not careful I can become guilty of “quenching His Spirit”, missing perishable moments of Divine opportunity while chasing smaller, temporary rewards. Christ set His face from His youth to be “about His Father’s business”, frequently interrupting His scheduled plans to follow the guidance of the Spirit in the moment… and doing so led Him to saving the Samaritan woman at the well and Zacchaeus in a tree. Let’s remain spiritually alert in our daily routines and listen for His “divine interruptions” today… He can only be heard by listening ears.

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21

Do not quench the Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:19
