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.

This looks like a place I would stop with a nice eggnog latte this holiday season!
Very colorful also! I like them very much and the color is pleasant also.
The bench you saw alongside of my potted plants bench was in a post a couple days ago and that is why I did not mention it in the latest post. Thanks for stopping by -- one of these days I hope to get abck into blogging full time.
I see a "whole Kindergarten" having a picnic around that table. Coke, hot dogs Lego and all. It looks as if it has been made for having fun around.
Rune, that's an interesting thought! I don't know that it has ever been used in that way!
