2014’s Top 10 Photos

Here’s the 10 photos that I selected from my 2014 catalog based on feedback/input from family and friends, a few contest winners and a couple of my favorites. I love the collage above - Family and Family Gatherings!

I read on a friend’s blog a few days ago that selecting your top 10 photos every year forces you to relive some of your most special moments of the year… many of which don’t end up as a top 10 photo. But you relive your year anyway by selecting your top 10. This is certainly true in my case. I have a lot a photos to go through to find just 10 but I gave it my best shot – no pun intended!

Picking your Top 10 Best Photos of the year not only forces you to look through all those digital images(thousands in my case) you have on your hard drive, it gives you such pleasure to relive those special moments. And there is an added benefit to selecting your Top 10. You can also see quite clearly what progress you have made year to year in capturing those special moments. And of course, realize the opportunities for new experiences and further skill development. That will be the fun part in the 2015 New Year.

Those are the Top 10 for 2014!

The Lord has promised "good things" to you and me in the days and years to come. He has promised to never leave or forsake us. I'm holding on to all His promises!

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach. Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

Why God Wants to Bless You! “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV), “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
