<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So. Three gifts loved. I love so much. But let's focus on today.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My Garden. I love my garden. I love gardening. Susan called her "Gardenia," my mistress. This photo is from June 29, 2014.</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is what Gardenia will look something like in September:</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gardenia is bordered on three sides with Zinnias; I love these! They attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Inside the garden: five tomato plants, three basil plants, two eggplant plants, beets, lettuce (two kinds), arugula, oregano, tarragon, cilantro, parsley, butterfly bush, cucumbers, jalapeno plants. Can you sense I might be excited???!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Of course, I just LOVE my dog, Freddy. A Mini Labradoodle. He doesn't know he is getting a bath and haircut tomorrow.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And these words have appeared elsewhere.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I want them to find a home here, too. Here, because I have so much to thank <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/">Ann Voskamp</a> and her book, "<a href="http://www.christianbook.com/one-thousand-gifts/ann-voskamp/9780310321910/pd/321910">One Thousand Gifts</a>," for. Bringing me closer day-by-day to God and Jesus. Being grateful every single day. Counting my gifts--the gifts given to me every single day.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The photo makes me smile. They are quite young. And smoking! And maybe have had a few glasses of wine! They gave smoking up in time. My mother became a director of Christian Education later in life and unfortunately passed away at the early age of 54 from cancer. I will be writing about My Mom over at <a href="http://mymomsbible.blogspot.com/">My Mom's Bible</a>, a place where I plan to market my new website, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/christiantotesandtshirts">Christian Totes & T-shirts</a>."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Three things will last forever--faith, hope, and love--and the
greatest of these is love." (Corinthians 13:13)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Love.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>I inherited the gift of love
from my mother and father. My mother and father also
taught me the importance of a smile. In thousands of
letters my mother wrote to me she would close with “Keep
Smiling.” And I have learned the importance of the gift of
a smile; how a smile can change a person’s day, if not life.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>When my dad passed away
in 2006 my two children said to me, “He loved us so much.”</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>Love.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>When I spoke at my dad’s
memorial service, I said: “My sister Michelle spoke of The
Perfect Child. I think in my father’s heart, in his soul
and spirit, Michelle, Darlene, Dennis and I are all The
Perfect Child as you, too, his family and friends are The
Perfect People. Darlene spoke of The Lucky Ones. Yes, we
four are lucky to have been blessed with a father filled
with such unconditional love, a man who never spoke an ill
word of anyone, his heart always filled with love for his
neighbor. And Dennis spoke of our Dad as The Greatest and
certainly he was for who could say what I want to say to
you now; who could say this of their Dad–how many children
could say that when they made a new friend, when I made a
new friend, I always said to this friend, I can’t wait for
you to meet my Dad, you are going to love him, and
invariably, she or he did love him, and my Dad loved them
and he would then always inquire about them, their day,
their joys, their sorrows, their dreams.”</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>My father, Alfred, also known as
Fred, and who Susan (my wife) and I named our Labradoodle
after; in his honor (Freddy), was known as the epitome of
a gentleman and his biggest joy in life came from loving
his family and grandchildren.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>Yes. This is how I want to be
remembered. I loved. This is my legacy. And I believe my
photography reflects this passion, a love of life, nature,
beauty and a calling to share this vision.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Happy. Once. Of course. To see the snow fall for the first time. And the ice form. And then it snowed again. And again. And again. And again. And now we are thankful to see the snow disappear and the ice melt!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The round table. The table at the art gallery where I hung my photos today. The table supports one photo, a vase of flowers, a price list, a biography (short) and guest book. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The old wheel and spokes in our backyard. Now no longer buried under snow. Today the air was warm. Birds singing. My dog playing in the backyard. And the wheel soon might be placed back in my garden and I will plant herbs between the spokes. Spring!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The colorful, but rusty, bucket. The bucket by the fence door. Its purpose to hold the door open when I mow the lawn. Seeing it today (And feeling the warm sun.) reminded me of the days yet to come. The days of warmer weather and growing grass. Grass that will need mowing. A few times each and every week. For me a very prayerful activity.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am hoping that I help people to see the beauty in the everyday. Ann Voscamp writes about this on her Blog, <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/2014/03/what-weve-got-to-tell-kids-about-living-extraordinary/">A Holy Experience</a>, today.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She writes: "<b>The realest extraordinary is always found in the ordinary."</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The good news for me today is that I am seeing God's love working in my life and I am confident that people will be move.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">People write to me:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But Spring-like weather will come to us soon as surely as this wind blows the acorns down from the pine trees in our backyard.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I ordered a small steak with onions and Susan ordered salmon with a balsamic glaze. My steak was as good as the one I had at a very expensive steak house a few weeks ago.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gosh. Both meals were so good. And the service was excellent. Thank You Jim!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HA! We'll go back for a Lobster Roll some day for lunch. And we will.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But count our blessing. Here we are struggling to make ends meet and we are eating out.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why? Because we have prayed. We have given thanks. We are counting are blessing.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We know something is coming. Something good. Something Grand. Something from God.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And I saw my sister in New Jersey a few weeks ago--and my brother--at a family get-together at her house. She is blessed; her three sons and daughter and grand-children all live nearby. Do I wish we saw each other more than a few times a year? Of course, I do. But thankful I am when we do see each other. <b><i>And there is always love. And thanksgiving.</i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And I am happy for my sister in Dallas. Funny. She left our home in New Jersey, married, and moved to New Hampshire where she lived for the past 30+ years until moving to Dallas last year to be close to her grandchildren. Do I wish I saw her more often? Of course, I do. But thankful I am when I do see her. <b><i>And there is always love. And thanksgiving.</i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And my son. Gosh I miss him. But I am proud of him. He works for one of the best engineering firms in the world. And we did get to spend time together when we drove (twice) to Austin, Texas where he attended graduate school. And we had great times in the city. And now great memories. Do I wish I saw him more often? Of course I do. But thankful I am when I do see him. <b><i>And there is always love. And thanksgiving.</i></b></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We have a small collection of globes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This one is in our sitting room:</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Susan is a big fan of crossword puzzles and she always consults with this globe, spinning it around and around, slowly, slowly looking for answers to the clues. I guess our knowledge of geography is not as good as it once was! Is geography still taught in school???!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am reminded of that song, "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands." I remember singing this song all the time in Sunday School. Listen to <a href="https://www.raffinews.com/">Raffi</a> sing it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-QS-Xr_vGw">here</a>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Globes in our living room:</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If the kitchen is the heart of a home, what is the kitchen table? Our kitchen table is round. We spend a great deal of time here. We give thanks every night for our dinner. "Thank You God for these gifts we are about from your bounty through Christ Our Lord. Amen." And variations of this prayer we pray, too.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If the kitchen is the heart of a home, maybe the kitchen table is the soul, the spirit. A large circle. Unbroken. A calendar. If we could spin the table around each spin bringing us to a point in and of time. A point, always of blessing. Of gratitude.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And in our office, the gift round of the camera lens. Of course, the camera does not see. The camera sits on the shelf. The camera waits. The camera waits for someone to see.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have always believed I have been given a gift from God. A gift of sight. Of seeing. Of seeing beauty. Sharing beauty. Some people have called my gift "distinctive photography with soul." Thankful I am for this gift! Thank You God!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An
admirer of my photography writes: “You have shown me to see the world
with a completely different set of eyes. Every single day you bring
beauty, joy, depth, and new perspective into my life. I cannot thank you
enough for being the beautiful, kind, loving, gentle, and soulful man
you are.”</span></span><br />
