Bright

Jan29

I was spending a few moments of “Quietude” near my window this morning.

I’m always seeking places of “Quietude” and looking out windows wherever I am.

The light coming in was so intense, it almost hurt my eyes.

It made me want to take the time to find out what God says about brightness.

I’m sharing here just a snippet of what I found.

Daniel 12:3 says – And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

Isaiah 60:3 And the nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.

These verses beg the question; Am I wise? Am I righteous? Will I let Him light my path?

I will rise to the King of Glory.

Will it hurt my eyes?

What are your thoughts and ideas on wisdom, and righteousness, and brightness?

Are there any special verse or quotes you would like to share?

Feel free. I’d love to know.

 

Sunday Stills; Night – My Way

Jan28

I’ve been playing around with some night time photography lately, so imagine my surprise when the topic of Sunday Stills this week was “Night”.

Sometimes all I need to do is show up, and the camera on my phone manages to make me look pretty good.

Sometimes I can play with a filter or two, and come up with something I enjoy.

Sometimes things appear a bit ethereal and dreamy.

Sometimes it’s a chance look out the window.

Then the sun begins to rise.

And just like that, the night is over.

Sunday Stills; My Way

Jan22

I recently found a challenge that intrigued me.

I’m still looking all the way through the challenge, but here is where I am now.

The first one I saw was Sunday Stills: Window.

Then I read this one. The topic was Embrace. The photo was fog. Windows and fog, easily two of my favorite top ten photo topics.

So I thought I would share a few of my favorites here.

My photos are not primarily OF windows. They are mostly FROM windows. My home office window, car windows, hotel windows, plane windows.

Some days dawn bright and clear, making it easy to see the good everywhere.

Some days are not so bright and shiny, but the beauty of those days can be seen if you really look for it.
