Meditations of My Heart--
Photos and Thoughts on Life
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.
I am thankful for my new friends in the blogosphere, who have affirmed and encouraged me. I hope you each have a blessed day, wherever you live, and that you are rich in thankfulness.
What a great photo! It's so rich in texture and light-- perfect for meditation and "philosophizing." I am thankful to have met you through the blogging world, too! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! ♥
Lovely composition for your Thanksgiving photo! I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving also -- with many blessings!
