Credit Where It Is Due
Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Is this one you or a family member made? It is a neat idea. I like the portability of it. The top of the table looks in sad shape. . . I have a bench that comes apart to store for the winter IF I used it outdoors also. Come and see MY bench!
Wow, isn't that handy! I'd love to have one of those to take on trips!
That was a new variation to me - a collapsible picnic table with benches included! It looks extremely practical and especially for the camping community.
PS Thank you for the pleasant comment! :-)
PERBS-The table is handmade, by a former teacher my son had in high school. I bought it at a school fund raiser.
There are many variatons of collapsible table/benches/chairs. I like this one as it is handmade and bought to help a good cause.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am truly enjoying reading all about everyone and seeing their pictures. Nice way to share your thoughts and pics. It is like visiting all around without leaving your computer chair. I am enjoying your blogs. Very nice. I am still a novice in the blog world. Have a great weekend.
A wonderful idea to have a collapsible picnic table and benches to take with you on a drive. There will always be a table and seat available.
Very handy to have that around
