# 84 The Season

My wish and prayer for you this week is that you will have a blessed and Merry Christmas. Be safe, enjoy your friends and family to the fullest!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.

Jesus Christ

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Luke 2:8-11 NIV

# 83 Share what you know

I would never be accused of being the smartest guy in the room but I have learned a few things about photography. Yesterday I was privileged to participate as a presenter for a statewide 4-H event focusing on photography. It is always fantastic to be able to share a little of what yo know to help someone progress. Working with kids who are actually interested in what you have to say a pure pleasure. I had a blast!

To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge.

Confucius

          Proverbs 9:10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and theknowledge of the Holy One is insight.

# 82 Give Thanks

I have many things to be thankful for and I am sure you do too. One of the things I cherish most is the time  I am able to spend with my family. It is a true pleasure to be able to watch my sons and their family's grow up. They are three great sons who are fine young men,

 All with their unique personalities and talents.

Oh yea they still know their way around a turkey too!

Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining - it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn't solve any problems.

Psalm 7-17

17 I will give thanks to the Lord according to His righteousness
And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
