365 Project Day 93: Faithfulness

Canon 5D Mark ll, 24-70 2.8L, 3.2 aperture, 1/500 shutter, 100 ISO

As we walk down our drive he collects rocks, the larger ones in particular. I ask him what they are for. He points to the spot in the distance on our long driveway. He needn’t say anything. I know now. He is pointing to one of the many persistent pot holes on our little road. He is filling it, one rock at a time. I smile at him, because this is who he is. A one-rock-at-time kind of person. It is one of the things I love about him most. He is steadfast and patient. I ask to photograph the rocks in his hand. I am taking a photo of my husband’s character.

Cowboy sits by him as he works. Another faithful one. It is a quality to be treasured.

I lift my eyes and see the large oak tree silhouetted against the setting sun. Again I see a theme. God has placed images of His faithfulness, His steadfast nature and love, all around me.

A little further down the road, a shadow of two who have become one. Commitment to stay, to love. “Look, it’s us”, I say as I press the shutter.

And then there are the flowers, who return every Spring to sing glory. They look like purple confetti suspended over the earth. Their song never changes.

And perhaps my favorite of all, a husband who freely and consistently worships the Faithful One Himself. How could I not love him?

Psalm 145:13 ~ “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.”

Proverbs 3:3 ~’Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.”
