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.

Snow


I can't say I love snow,
But it is not winter 
Without it.

Snow reveals paths
Which are unseen 
Without it.

Snow awakens longings
Which are unfelt 
Without it.

Snow brings quiet
Which is unheard
Without it.

See It Sunday

Weekend Reflections: Snow


Smooth snow reflects lots of light,
Tire tracks reflect less!

Visit James to see other reflections!
