Friday For His Glory: Light

I am participating in a small photography challenge this year.  Each Friday we post on that week's theme.  I thought that I would also post my picture and thoughts from the challenge on this blog. :)


This week's theme is "light."

"Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, 'I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.'"-John 8:12

"So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor 

toil in vain." -Philippians 2:12-16 

Have a blessed day!

Friday, For His Glory: Pink

I am participating in a small photography challenge this year.  Each Friday we post on that week's theme.  I thought that I would also post my picture and thoughts from the challenge on this blog. :)

This week's theme is "pink."
 

The first person the enters my mind when I think of "pink," is my little sister, Ashlyn.

She never leaves the house without something pink: A headband, a purse, or even a pair of socks.  She just loves pink!

But what I love about her (well, one of the many things I love about her :) ), is that while she is girly, she doesn't act frail or naive, she just goes out there and does her job.  She pulls weed in the garden while wearing a massive pink bow in her hair, she plays and wrestles with the boys while wearing her pink boots, or a sparkly rhinestone belt.  She enjoys life...with a little pink thrown in. :)

And now, my picture:

Here is Ashlyn, close to sunset, about to feed the chickens.  But notice what she is wearing: a gigantic, fur, pink coat with a dark magenta dress.  She quickly fed the chickens, hopped over the fence, and then raced me back to the house.  All in her "pink." :)

"Enjoy life with...whom you love, all the days of your...life that He has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. Whatever you find your hand finds to do, do it with all your might" (Ecclesiastes 9:9,10 ESV).

In Him,
Kristin
