Unconscious Imitation

This week's article comes from Graham Scharf, author of The Apprenticeship of Being Human: Why Early Childhood Parenting Matters.

Limping
 
Michael Hyatt wrote about how, as a young child, he walked with a limp. But he didn't have an injury; it wasn't that one leg was shorter than the other. The cause of Michael's limp was his father's injury in the Korean War. Hyatt explains, "As a young boy, I unconsciously emulated him. I just thought that was the way grown men walked."

Unconscious Imitation
God has so designed us and put us in families that we bear the image of those who bore us. It isn't just genetics. We bear the image of our parents by unconscious imitation. As we look at their faces, we subconsciously learn to mimic their expressions. As we speak to one another, we take on their habits of speech. Even in our gait, we bear resemblance to our parents. read more...

Tshirts for VBS
We're Still Collecting T-Shirts
KidVenture is collecting gently used t-shirts of all adult sizes. Donated T-shirts should have no designs on the back. The front design does not matter as it will be cut off. The shirts will be used in a project for VBS this year. Clean out your closets and help us collect 150 t-shirts. Bring your shirts to the designated receptacles in the Atrium. Questions? Contact vbs@connectwithcalvary.org
