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 have some red berries to compete with those, but mine are on nandinas. We do have a gusty 40 mph wind which is making the large flag on our flagpole sound a bit like thunder. it is 25 deg at 6.45 PM and expected to be 9 deg by morning.
Really? With all the wind that's blowing across the country, I can't imagine the berries are still clinging on! We aren't having snow in Florida but the window is fierce!!! Coming from the northwest...
