Insist on yourself; never imitate.
Your own gift you can present
every moment
with the cumulative force
of a whole life’s cultivation;
but of the adopted talent of another
you have only an extemporaneous
half possession.
That which each can do best,
none but his Maker can teach him.

Ecstatically shooting everything in sight using my beloved Nikon D3100 with AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR kit lens and AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 G prime lens.
Also capturing outrageous beauty left and right with my Nikon D7000 blissfully married to my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D AF prime glass. Don't be jeal.
And then there was the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f:3.5-5.6G ED VR II zoom. We're done here.

When I am gone
Please remember me
As a heartfelt laugh,
As a tenderness.
Hold fast to the image of me
When my soul was on fire,
The light of love shining
Through my eyes.
Remember me when I was singing
And seemed to know my way.
Remember always
When we were together
And time stood still.
Remember most not what I did,
Or who I was;
Oh please remember me
For what I always desired to be:
A smile on the face of God.
Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
II Corinthians 4

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again.

Beautiful.
I am so very sorry!!
Beautiful flowers, Jenny. Continuing prayers for you and loved ones.
@Judy ... it truly was. xoxo
@Ginny ... Thank you for caring. xoxo
@Karen ... Thank you. xoxo
The flowers are beautiful and I think that white casket is perfect for your mom. I don't see white ones often, but after hearing her testimony about being new and clean, I think this is just right.
xoxo
Jenny, I am so very sorry. What beautiful memories you will have and I know in days to come you will look back and think of many. It still hurts though I know. May God sustain you and yours during this journey of grief. Sending love and hugs your way.
She has found her rest and her peace. Your family's support over these months was a blessing to her.
Thinking of you, friend.
I am so sorry, Jenny. Please accept my condolences and prayers. I lost my Mom not too long ago as well and oh how it hurts and oh how I MISS HER. I saw some pictures of your Mother--she was so beautiful, always smiling, such a lovely woman. You could tell how much she loved all of you. It's a hard thing to get through.....may God comfort you in your sadness and may you smile at the happy memories when they come. We KNOW we will be reunited with our loved ones, what a day of joy that will be. Take care!
What a lovely day....
This must have warmed your hearts....
Gentle hugs,
Mari-Nanci
I've had y'all on my mind and in my heart,Jenny.
Prayers continue now, and always.
xoxo
I'm so sorry. Your family is in my prayers!
@Mari ... I thought the white casket was so poignant. She chose it herself, some years ago, and I agree with you that it's fitting. I asked her about her flowers a few weeks ago and she said "roses" and I said what color, and she said "pink." And I was like, yesssssss!!!! Exactly what I would have chosen. Few flowers are more eloquent than the rose, and she always loved pink ones. Everything was as it should have been. xoxo
@Cheri ... Yes it does still hurt, but not in an unbearable way. It's an ache and I can live with that, because it reminds us that while we live, we are influencing others in a way that will last even after we are gone. Thanks for your kind words. xoxo
@Barb ... I believe you are right, friend. I know we meant it to be. xoxo
@Sydney ... Thank you my dear friend. xoxo
@Debbi ... Thank you and you have my condolences. Yes it will be a wonderful day. As my mom dictated to my sister in a text to me a few days before she died, when I was at home: We will be together again in another day, in the Beloved. Thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. xoxo
@Mari-Nanci ... It was an interesting and fulfilling day from the first moment until the last. Lots of great memories. God is good. xoxo
@Sally ... Thank you my dear. It's so good to hear from you. xoxo
@Jeanette ... Thank you my friend. xoxo
Continuing to keep you & your family in my thoughts.
@Jane ... Thank you. That means a lot. Hope all is well with you and yours. xoxo
