Meditations of My Heart: Moon at Dawn

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.

NitWit1 said...: Great shot and reminds me of my husband's and my fishing tips one of which fishing is best when "Moon UP Sun Down" Sometimes when the Moon is visible even in daylight, fishing is good, too.; March 4, 2011 at 8:09 AM
Anonymous said...: This is a great photo Dimple. I think you need to print, frame and hang this one.

Thanks for your comments. You understood what I was trying to do with the revised Em & Roscoe image. Some of the changes are subtle but they add up.; March 4, 2011 at 4:30 PM

WHICH SKY FOR YOU?

Which sky for you?
One that is blue?
Or do you prefer
A sky that’s demure?

A sky in grey
Is soft, they say,
And not everyone
Likes the blinding sun.

Perhaps a sky
Through which geese fly
To winter havens
Away from ravens?

A rain-swept sky
That seems to cry?
O quickly choose one
Before day is done!
