A pretty big snow, for us, was predicted last night, but we just got a dusting.  I love snow, but even a dusting was enough for some photographic fun!  I love the contrasts and the opportunities for color and monochrome.  I had taken Sherelene to work this morning so I grabbed the Fuji X100s and used it to do a photo hunt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a fun morning, I never cease to be amazed at how much God has blessed me to be able to enjoy such a fun life!

 

Blessings,

O.K. let’s have some fun.  I have an image from this morning that is far and away my favorite.  Can you guess which one?   I’ll reveal it tomorrow!

I have to admit something, I’m a big kid when it comes to Christmas!   love Christmas movies, Christmas decorations, the way people smile and wave, and wish each other well!  (I live in Kentucky, we actually do those things here!)  I know they do that other places too, but in some places people are in a big hurry and don ‘t take the time!  So let me offer a suggestion or two on how to make this a great Chrismtas!

 

*  Find someone everyday to embrace and wish them and their family a very, Merry Chrismtas!

 

*  Take part in a service at your church that reaches out to others, a toy drive, a Christmas dinner, or the delivery, or assembling of Christmas baskets, it will raise your spirits!

 

*  Spend some alone time in the word reading the Christmas story, and watch a good film that depicts the story of Christmas, and the birth of Christ.

 

* Find a good version of Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol.  (I like the 1957 version starring Alstair Simm as Scrooge!)  If you take it to heart, it is a life changing message!

 

* Gathering your children or grandchildren around the tree and read them “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, and watch their eyes sparkle!

 

*  Give your spouse a personal gift, and take the time to thank him or her for loving you, for another year.

 

*  Celebrate the greatest gift of all, the birth of our Savior, Jesus!

 

Blessings,
