Here is a picture that reminds me of why photography speaks to us. Now you may not know this couple here but if you did this picture would make you smile and want to live out your faith more fiercely. I am blessed to say that this couple is a part of my family. They were before I even knew it (spiritually speaking ) but now more so because they are my husband's Aunt and Uncle. I love them and their picture.
Days from today I will be able to show this picture to my children and say "So this is love. To love God. To love people. To love your spouse. To love your family. To love the Church. Let me tell you about this here couple."

Picture of Uncle Charles and Aunt Lavina at Hidden Acres.
Picture with a little color editing
Picture with a little vintage and texture stuff going on.
And a quote to go with the sentiment this picture brings to my heart.
The Weight of Glory
"...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealing with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal." -C.S. Lewis
