Artwork and impact....by Benjamin Lee

Okay, so I have been asked over and over by a young and growing little boy to use the camera. SO, finally after much discussion about how to use a camera, I decided that he was old enough to have a go at it. Here are some of the wonderful selections that I thought you might appreciate.

The Human Series







The Life of a Spork






From Green Chair to Green Sippy







As you can only imagine, I have literally close to 100 new pics on my camera. Today he told me that he took a picture of each page in his Bernstein Bears book. It's hilarious, but what I find really funny is that while he is roaming around the house taking pictures of things he thinks are important, he is laughing. Not just the little giggling, but belly laughing out loud at himself and what he is doing. I find it so amazing that the human heart has this longing in it to make something valuable. We all show our creativity in different ways, but there is some need to make something that is important. "to make money, to make it right, to make something beautiful, to make someone well, to make someone smarter, to make the world a better place." We all have a desire for impact. My son was simply learning about making pictures that impact people. I suppose in the beginning, we start by making things that impact ourselves. I do know this- that the desire to make an impact is one put in us and created by a heavenly Father. One who knows that we desire to make a difference and he is giving us the tools to do it. The means by which we can make an impact, both now and forever more when he comes to rule and reign. How will our impact today make a difference in eternity?
