Unexpected Blessings Walking along the trail, I just happened to look to my left. What I saw stopped me in my tracks. There, only ten to twelve feet away, stood four white-tailed deer, staring at me. I stopped, breathless, and stared back at them. They stood so close I could see the black markings onContinue reading “Unexpected Blessings”

Nearby branches merely watch, too heavily laden with yellow-green hedge apples to dance. On the far side of the field lies a painter’s palette of trees showing their colors—green, yellow,Continue reading “Walking the Nature Trails”

I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of too many things more everlasting than a rock. How wonderful that our rock, our Savior, is everlasting. We can lean on him and rely on his strength now and for eternity. Father, thank you for being so dependable and reliable. Thank you for providing strengthContinue reading “Trust in the Lord”

On this chilly afternoon, I am so thankful for a cup of hot tea (tangerine orange, yum!) some warm chocolate chip cookies, a soft, fuzzy blanket, and a good book to read. Lord, sometimes life is hard. Today, I thank you for the simple pleasures that make life enjoyable.

On this beautiful November day, (the 8th) I am thankful for books. I’m amazed at how versatile books are.

ThankContinue reading “30 Days of Thankfulness, 8”
