Putting together an Inspirational Calendar for you each year has been such a blessing to me. It is my favorite calendar every time because it's so much of what is at the core of my being. God's Inspiration through His Word the Bible, and through His Creation and through life's experiences with people in general are so very important to me. Each day I am inspired...by people, by God's Creation - in the sunsets or the animals I see - the Scriptures that I read, by the experiences I have....each day is an inspiration. I love living and I love every day that I have breath.
This year I thought I would try something a little
different by having different types of photos in the calendar for you with the
Scripture verse on the side and then surrounding it with black. The black in the
background just heightens the intensity of the photo and brings if to life! It
reminds me of the evil and darkness in this world and how when life/light are
brought into it, the darkness fades. That inspires me! Amidst all the pain and
suffering, there is hope and love! Oh how we need that! Humankind would be
utterly lost without the Hope that Jesus brings.
A couple things I'd like to highlight in this calendar
that inspire me:
one of them being churches; the diversity of their
buildings, the rich history behind them and the uniqueness of each person who
attends those churches. We all come from different walks of life and each have a
life story to tell.... I love listening to those stories. :)
Another inspiration is the meaning behind the September
photo: I had an incredible opportunity to be one of the photographers for the
Harvest for Kids event in 2012. What an amazing feat for Saskatchewan to break
the world record for the most combines harvesting a field at once! It was a
super day! Check out their website to find out more www.harvestforkids.com/2012
One more inspiration would be in the October photo and
the couple of times that I've had the opportunity to photograph at the Ride for
Refuge event in Saskatoon. This event runs every year and the riders raise money
for charities of their choice. Our kids had been involved in the past for
raising funds for Hands On Street Ministries in Saskatoon and it's been a joy to
photograph the riders out on the course along the beautiful riverbanks in the
city. If you'd like more information, go on their website at www.rideforrefuge.org/canada
So, I pray this calendar - the photos and the Scriptures
and this writeup - have been an inspiration to you! :) I'm always encouraged to hear from you via
email, phone call or Facebook telling me what these calendars have meant to you.
That inspires me! Thank you for allowing me to share this calendar with you!
God bless you!
