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.

Bleeding Heart

Ellievellie asked about the plant in my Sun Tea post. It is called bleeding heart. Here is a picture:
It is a perennial that gets rather large, and is very graceful, especially while blooming. However, this is not IN the tea.
I think I misunderstood her question!!

I've seen this plant - had no idea they make chai with it. Thank you for the information - I'll check it - I like herbal tea!

I see - I was almost ready to try to eat people's flowers :) Very pretty and rich plant - the only one that would survive my care is a cactus :)
