I received a text from my friend Melissa tonight.
It was a picture of a gravestone.
With a photo on it.
A photo that I took of a beautiful, blond 2 year.
The photo was from a session I did last fall, right before Christmas of their 2 girls.
The session was a session I had done for free. Not a giveaway. Just a gift. Not announced. Not talked about on my facebook page or my blog.
I say that to say this, friends.
It's so easy to get caught up in the hype of the photography world. Profit. Business. Value and devalue. Promotion. Good stuff done for attention. Personality driven. Heck, it's just the world we live in. Give to get. Focus on the getting. So on the anniversary of my little friend's passing over I want to take a minute to encourage all of us to give without expecting anything in return. You never know when God will take your talent or time given and use it to help or to change another person's life.
Give,
and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed
down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured
into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get
back.
