Ever since I read Amber’s post on being a person @ The Run-A-Muck, I haven’t stopped thinking about it. She speaks of home and God’s art and eating a chicken nugget. And somehow it all fits together. Because that is her gift. That is part of her person.
The Invisible Photographer @ Shutter Sisters was yet another confirmation of the importance of including ourselves in our family photos. Focusing on the arms-length portrait, Kate Inglis leaves out the word ‘self’ because it’s not just about capturing photos of me, but of noting my presence in the midst of a captured day. Well said.
My Dad talks here on being a person as it relates to God: This is not about my wife
Megan @ Velveteen Mind talks about being a person in the blog world as only she can: Will you hit your saturation point before your tipping point?
And Chickadee, in the simple, quiet way that is unique to her, beautifully communicates being a person among her family in An Evening Walk @ A Familiar Path.
These posts all eloquently communicate the importance of being. Of living well, discovering truth, loving deeply and basking in this present moment. Thank you Amber, Kate, Dad, Megan and Chickadee for inspiring me today. If you have a minute, I encourage you to check them out.
You pointed. I visited. They communicated. I’m inspired. Great writers, one and all!
Megan spoke right to my heart. Off to read the rest.
Bless you, Emily!
A beautiful compilation of links to make me think this morning. I had already read Megan’s. I plan to dig into the rest and absorb. Thanks, Emily
love these links, especially the invisible photographer. i’ve been trying to figure out ways to make myself exist in photos, but it certainly isn’t the easiest thing. thanks for introducing me to shutter sisters; that blog is my newfound bloggy love!!
All so beautiful and inspirational. Thank you for sharing these. I needed them today!
Thanks for sharing what inspired you to be today, Emily. I enjoyed Amber’s thoughts and her lovely writing. I loved your dad’s thoughts on the Word, and his sweet words about his wife. I got a new chronological bible for my birthday from my husband and am excited to begin it. I’m hoping that reading it as a “story” will help me to better know the Author and His big story. And it’s engraved with my married name. My very first thing engraved with my husband’s name, that is now mine as well.
Thanks for the great suggestions! Reminds me of Walt Whitman’s words, “To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakable, perfect miracle.” Thinking this way, with this perspective, is an attitude changer! Glad to be pointed back to Christ again and again!
thanks for the link love!
Thanks for sharing the links to these talented ladies’ writings. These treasures are, amazingly, all new to me.
EEk! These posts may be more powerful and meaningful than I’m up to today.
Deep breath, swallow my pride, and off to click the links that I know will hit me where it hurts.
