When

When I Am Weak Lord, You Give Me Strength
When I Lose Hope, You Give Me Faith To Go On
When My Laughter Is Gone, You Restore My Joy
You Grant Me Peace, Knowing I Am Never Alone
(Words By Rick Schies)

I spotted this little vine that had managed to crawl up this post, and it stood there looking strong. It glowed in the light of the sun, and there was nothing holding it up, except for the fact that it was resting on the strrength of that post. It made me realize how we lean on the Lord for our daily strength, Without Him our lives would often be in shambles. He is the ultimate source for what I need, and He has often been the source of joy when I knew not where to find it. Some may say it's a crutch, I say it's a constant. He is someone I can depend on.
oh nice shot Rick- beautiful bokeh :)

Oh sweet little vine. You are very good at marrying your thoughts to your image. (In response... thank you, and, it's because I didn't get back into school this semester, so I decided to just go through this book and make my own assignments. :) I hope you don't mind being subjected to that.)
