We have hundreds of printed photos that my dad took. Some are framed, some are matted, and some are just loose prints. We have given many away and everyone in the family took what they wanted. We have been wondering what to do with the rest of them. A couple of months ago, I learned about a craft fair that is going to be hosted by the association where our cabin is located. I decided to get a table there and see if other people may enjoy the pictures as much as we do. My brother and I sorted through photos, frames, and supplies. I ordered some materials to prepare the photos to sell. Today I started on the project. I had watched my dad work on matting and framing his pieces many times. I also watched some videos, so figured I was ready to begin. I said a little prayer and asked my dad to guide me. The first piece I decided to do was a black and white photo of an old log cabin. I gathered all the supplies and put on the white cloth gloves to keep the picture as clean as possible. It took me a long time to get it perfectly positioned in the rustic looking frame that I bought and I learned a lot. The others that I put together after that were much easier and quicker. I felt my dad was with me as I worked through every detail and realized how much I learned from him. I believe he would be happy with the finished products. I sure was.

I Found God today working on my dad’s photos and feeling close to him.
