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.

It looks a pleasant little fountain. You've caught the water movement well.
Now that's serene!
It looked like a big fat candle to me!
My first thought was "candle" too, but then I realized it said "fountain" and so it is!! A lovely one, too. I find them so soothing and restful.

Beatyful picture....
I like this picture, it makes me feel calm and I would pit it on my living room wall...
I can feel my stress disappearing...
I really like that this picture is in black and white because it made my imagination come alive coloring it in my head, which surprised me.
