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.

Thanks to Sandy


A while back Sandy aka Doris the Great of AGING DISGRACEFULLY had a give away, and I won. My gift arrived today: the promised Dark Chocolate Covered Cranberries! I haven't opened them yet, I think I may save them to share on Christmas Day. Maybe. If I can keep from opening them! Then again, maybe everyone will have to make do with fruitcake!
Sandy also sent things to go with this treat: red napkins with a reindeer motif and a beautiful embroidered kitchen towel. Also included was a cute Christmas card and a seasonal family newsletter which I enjoyed reading.
Thank you Sandy, and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
