Flame

Hello again readers!

This post I would like to dedicate to... flame. I love taking pictures of fire, something about the color that intrigues me. How it is never still, constantly moving, cutting in and out, so to get the right picture the timing must be perfect.

Yet at the same time, you can always count on some fire to keep you warm, to light your way. Some comforts always resides in even the smallest flame. God tells us in Matthew
5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

During the time this was written a "lamp" would have been a flame. And as God puts it, we ARE His fire, we are the light of the world. We can literally make others glorify God simply by setting a Godly example, and shining our light for Him. And who knows, maybe, if each of our individual flames did our part, we could all explode in a glorious God-centered way that people couldn't help but stare at in amazement!

Yellow Flower

Hello readers!

So I took this picture some time ago and liked it quite a bit. I do wish my focus was directed more toward the flower rather than the stem. If I could do it over again I'd make sure and take it that way. However, I was up in a mountainousness region on my stomach and it was quite warm. So I didn't take my time.

I do appreciate though how this one flower can remind me of God's love. I was standing near the edge of a cliff way deep into the Multnomah Falls and just marveling at the beauty of nature. Then I looked down at my feet and saw this one tiny flower. Doesn't that describe how God has created all of nature, every last thing, yet He focuses on you and me individually, personally, on a daily basis? That astounds me.

Enjoy...
