Photo Contest Announcement of Winners - 13 SBD
Thank you so much to all of the 79 participants that are very warm in welcoming this contest, you guys are amazing. I also want to thank my co-judge @paradise-found for his generosity in donating 5 SBD. I really appreciate his help and support, an act of genuine friendship. The judging was so difficult since all the entries are awesome. For the transparency, I would like to share that we judged according to the rules.
Some may be surprised and asked why there are high quality and heart-touching photos who did not make it, the reason is that we choose the winners who did the closest to the concept which is the Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control).
The 79 photo entries are great and stunning, @paradise-found and I are congratulating everybody for a job well-done. We may not be able to give rewards to everyone but you have our prayers, God who is above all will surely pour His blessings to all of you. Thank you so much for inspiring us!

I hope that we learned something from our winners. A gift is not all about having a box wrapped in a fancy ribbon or a cash inside an envelope, let us not forget the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Let us not be blinded in living in a materialistic world. Sometimes, true happiness came from the things that eyes can’t see but the heart can feel. Have you seen the smiles, contentment and peacefulness from the pictures above? These are the most precious things that even million of dollars can’t buy.
Congratulations to the winners and to the participants!
