Oh, that photograph! Just breathtaking…
You are so sweet to say that! Here is the story behind it – and there is a story! I had already written out this list. But needed a photo to go with it. But, it really isn’t appropriate to take pictures at funerals. So, on my way out of my mom’s house – I snapped a quick photo of these flowers from the service. The light was all wrong and the color was worse. So I switched it to Sepia and thought, “that works.”
Life is so like that? We take our ‘quick shot’ and God takes it and makes it beautiful. And then a lovely friend notices and you are truly blessed!
Beautiful list as always… and love the photo, too! ♥ Michelle
Thanks friend for stopping by!
Love it!
