Sharing photos from Thanksgiving









What a wonderful Thanksgiving we enjoyed with our dear friends Jack and Brenda! It has become a tradition for our families to be together on that day, and we look forward to it, every year.... As I mentioned last year, they have such a beautiful home, and Jack has created a lovely fish pond and Rose garden that we always enjoy seeing..... I took these pictures as dusk fell, so they are a little dark, but I couldn't resist sharing them with you all anyway.....

Well, I had to go back on antibiotics and steroids this weekend, YUCK! And was feeling pretty low until I went to Church last night.... What a blessing of strength and hope and encouragement I received! I went up for prayer, and when the minister placed the annointing oil and his hand on my head and began to seek the Lord for my healing, I felt warmth and strength and God's prescence just flood over me....


So I am starting this week out with strength and joy and peace and the assurance of God's tender care and nearness..... and isn't that a wonderful way to start out the week? My heart is singing Praise to my Heavenly Father today for His incredible goodness!


I hope each of you has a beautiful week, too, and please remember that God cares and understands......

My Heart is full of Thanksgiving....

(Another photo of my Fall decorations last year)


How my heart rejoices today in God's goodness! He didn't have to save me, and yet, He did... He didn't have to give me a loving family and a home, and yet He did.......
He didn't have to take that long and agonizing Path to Calvary's Cross, and yet, He did.....
He doesn't have to keep me and my family in His amazing grace and mercy, and yet, He does, daily....
He doesn't have to hear my every whisper, every cry of my soul, and yet, He cares enough and loves me enough, to listen attentively to my every word, and He provides for my every need .......

He is my best and dearest Friend, and the love of my heart and soul.....

Today, my heart is thankful, dear and precious friends.... and words are not quite up to the task of expressing how I feel ....

I hope that each of you has a wonderful and happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
