February 2024
Month of the Heart
Welcome to BrickXBrick Monthly, our home for news, events, and builds you might like to try at home!
Luke 10:27
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself. '”
Hearts are the symbol we most associate with the month of February and it is no wonder that we all want to know how we can build a heart from LEGO®! First, let's consider the heart. It has several different meanings. There is the heart as the symbol of love - we think of Valentine's Day - or in Mexico, The Day of Love and Friendship. There is the heart as the symbol of something alive and 3 dimensional - a living part of us and we focus on its health this month. Then there is the spiritual heart - a symbol of life and strength. As we learn to build the shape of a heart this month, take a moment to ponder the condition of your heart in all its different forms. The popular author of the Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis, wrote about his change of heart in his book "Surprised by Joy" which you can find on any book site. If you are interested in knowing more about C.S. Lewis I recommend this website - Into the Wardrobe
