Thematic Photographic 193 - Faith

THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC




Man cannot live without an enduring faith
 in something indestructible within him." Franz Kafka





"My daddy's home again!"



Carmi, couldn't have selected a better theme for today.  Faith is our theme, and faith is my game for today! My son-in-law returned home from his deployment in Iraq and Kuwait after leaving last May 2011!   Hooray!  My faith is restored again.




"Faith and doubt go hand in hand, they are complementaries.  One who never doubts will never truly believe." - Hermann Hesse





No matter where you are.
Or, what faith you believe.
You just need faith
to believe.


Anything is possible.




Trusting, that this too, shall pass, if you're willing to mend all the pieces.






"Faith is not being sure where you're going but going anyway." -Fredrick Buechner



....and believing your own two hands, and a bounty of sweat, can take you anywhere.
Even after mother nature's Machiavellian ways produced a bitter destruction. 


Will you walk this best view of faith ever?

Lisa, if only I could say my own yard! It's in Shakopee, Minnesota just as you enter town.

Great shots Karen. Thst poor litle snow covered cherb with the broken arm!

A year is a heck of a long time for a posting - no wonder they were happy to have him home!

Steve Gravano said...

Excellent photos once again Karen, especially the photo of your son-in-law's return. You captured the moment perfectly.

About the first photo: that is a peculiar piece of art. The landscape looks almost like Holland.

Wish you a wonderful day.

Hey Karen, hooray for having your son-in-law home. That must be a huge relief!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. We're still in Patagonia...as requested, taking lots of photos! I'm way behind on my blog reading but will try to get caught up when we get home. Meanwhile, have a great week...and stop by to see more photos!

Congratulations on getting your son-in-law back home, and many thanks to him and his family for his service. This was such a beautiful theme, I didn't want it to end!

The shot of the post is your son-in-law and his daughter.

I'm afraid I switched off the video after the appearance of George W Bush.

I'm so glad your son-in-law is home safe and sound, Karen. And my goodness, what a powerful picture of him and his daughter. I needed a couple of minutes after seeing it before I could open up the comment window and start writing.

You've reminded us that faith can be many things - especially knowing that the people who matter most will ultimately come back to us. What a beautiful way to share it, Karen.
