So Much to be Thankful For!

Thanksgving Day

My turkley is in the freezer with the
dressing I made Saturday, along wtih
two pies. All of our plans are set with
family and friends. We can just anticipate
the day and all the fun and fellowship we
will have.
We have so much to be thankful for..

Most of us have a roof over our heads and
food for the table and clothes on our back.
We have no shortage of love and companionship.
We can walk, and talk, smell, hear, and feel.
We are so blessed!
Ps. 95:2
Let us come before His presence with Thanksgiving,
and make a joyful noise unto Him with Psalms.

Have a Happy Thanksgving...

Frost on the Pumpkin

There was frost on the pumpkin this morning...Jack Frost was here to remind us that winter is just around the corner.

There is a huge tree across the street from where I work and it ushers me into each season, in early spring the lush green leaves start to sprout and with summer the canopy cools with each passing breeze.

It's autumn coat was ablaze with red, then gold, then hues of oranges and browns.
Today as the first frost has left it's mark, there is nothing left but bare and beautiful limbs swaying and dancing in the cool morning air.

A mere tree and it's seasons remind me of the majesty and beauty of creation.
I try to imagine heaven and know a day is coming - as sure as the sunrise - when we will be transported into the Lord's presence and surrounded by all of His
glory and beauty.
Free from temptation, sin, and sadness, from fear, and doubt and despair.

It will be wonderful and beautiful and best of all Forever!

Job 37:10
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened

Church Night

We are so fortunate to live in a country
where we have the freedom and privilege
to go to church. I love Wednesday's
and Sunday's and am always excited
over the prospect of
being able to go to services.

The thought of studying God's Word and
praising His name with song and in fellowship
causes an excitement in my soul.

I pray for those who do not know God and pray
for those who do and may not have the same
privileges that we do in this country
to worship freely.
Our missionaries around the world are always
in my prayers for the wonderful work they do.

Let us boast in the LORD and the mighty and
amazing things he does for us. Pray for America,
and that we as Americans will always put God first
in all that we do.
