Wow, you did again Susan. You are so creative. What comes first, the picture of the words (sort of like the chicken of the egg)?

I wish I knew how to answer everyone, wouldn't that be great? LOVE the pictures, you are just so creative!

Do you remember that the Lord used you to say "Salt" to me when I was sounding too rough or harsh? It was very kindly handled on your side; no complaint on my side. Any time I read this verse, I think of you... and me. [IF my tone of voice is any better now, it's b/c of your obedience to the Lord.]

I keep thinking it can't be any better over here--and it always is!

Louise Gallagher said...

Usually the images come first, Andie ... in this particular case the words did.

Yes, Joanne, I remember that well. Your words are sweet my friend.

i look at the bare branches on the trees in your header and i think this looks like the branches of coral in our water.

Caroline said...

So wonderful...needed to read this tonight. Thank you!

I'm thankful that your photos and writing are always inspirational, God centred and challenging.

Beth said...

I wondered too how it all comes to you, so I'm glad the other poster asked. But does the inspiration just come on you or do you take time to just 'be' and then the ideas come forth?
You can say so much with simple imagery and words--a salt shaker of all things. Incredible and wonderful.

Much food for thought...very good to take into the day. Thank you for the life, Susan :o) Happy Weekend ((HUGS))

great reminder!

Christine said...

Thank you for the reminder.
I am off to work today with continuing my 30 day challenge to tame my tongue. It is hard when you work entirely with women to always remain positive and encouraging. Perhaps I shall put a salt shaker by my wicket.

Maureen said...

Love the questions being asked of you about your inspiration. It's your inspiration - truly a gift and blessing - that makes visiting here every day so special.

Sarah Knight said...

They say that salt is like crack for your tastebuds (they're apparently a little snarky). Salt actually does kind of hyper-activate your tastebuds - so that's an interesting metaphor
: )

SimplyDarlene said...

Of course from the title I was looking for images of a big hairy animal and lots of licking... ;-)

Blessings.

At one time, salt was the equivalent of gold! Good message!

Lisa said...

I love this.

Words to live by! I love the cobalt blue salt shaker!

Some day I hope to meet you in person. You are an amazing - light filled and creative woman - so inspiring! Lovely post!

Leslie said...

Oh, I start so many days wanting to be salt and ending up with pepper! I love this reminder and I love that blue glass salt shaker.

Cassandra Frear said...

Yes, I like that blue cobalt salt shaker. Reminds me of some antiques I ran across once.

Jeanne Frances Klaver said...

Words are so powerful and yours are a great reminder. My grandmother had a cobalt salt shaker like that. It's a good memory. :) Thank you.

Joan Elizabeth said...

I've wanted to be one of those gracious ladies that speaks words that season the life of others ... but I've just got to face it ... I'm not. You are.

Michelle DeRusha said...

I love coming here, Susan. You are a rich and generous soul.

Loved that quote a few posts below about the pencil eraser and optimism -- that's a good one!

I talked with your friend Joanne for a good long while this week -- what a gem she is!

Laura Delegal - Leroy Photography said...

You're so creative.

Lesley said...

What a great matching of words and photographs!

Kass said...

I wish my words could have such an effect. I know how others' words have impacted me at crucial times of my life - some of your included.

Kerri Farley said...

What a wonderful post! And soooo creative!
