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.

Making Firewood

 
My husband and I had a nice time on Valentine's Day making firewood. We own a few acres of woodland, and the trees which are dead or dying help us keep warm in the winter. Husband runs the chainsaw, see it there, hiding behind that bit of brush? He also splits the wood, and I help load it into the bucket of our tractor.
I like helping him make wood.

This post is my submission for Blue Monday, Mellow Yellow Monday, Ruby Tuesday, and My World Tuesday. Drop by these great blogs to see pictures from all over!
