So much for my visionary view of the world...
I love having a camera on my "smart" phone.
There is something about capturing a moment in time.
Videos capture an event.
Photographs capture the moment...forever.
I love events...
But it's the moment, that split second moment that is captured that in the end captivates me.
I recently saw a photograph that caught a moment in time and a wave of emotions flooded my heart and soul.
That's one thing I love about Facebook... the photos that share a peak into a "moment".
That's one of the things I love about my wife Julie... she loves to "scrapbook." We have volumes of scrapbooks that have caught hundreds of "moments in time."
I love studying photos... the backgrounds, the expression on the faces, the posture of the people posing, the clothing style that dates us, the hairstyles that defined us and the emotions that determined what was being felt in that one moment of time caught on camera...
My iWitness...
One thing I have been struck with recently concerning photographs is the fact that in each photo, in each moment captured on camera... God was there.
Whether I am looking at photos from the 70's, the 50's or from two days ago, one thing remains constant... God was there.
Today I find incredible comfort in knowing that whatever moment I catch on camera or not, the One who is always there will be right where He always is... right there.
May our day be full of thanksgiving and wonder for the One who is "Immanuel" - God with us.
And may we be captured with Him today moment after moment after moment...
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
(Matthew 1. 23)
And that's my iWitness...
Laugh often and Fear not!
David!
