The path opens to a clearing larger than a football field. Waist high brome grasses sway slightly in a gentle waltz with the faint breeze. 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”

30 Days of Thankfulness, 9
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.
Friends
On this Friday, November 7, I am thankful for friends. People you can have fun with, who will cry with you in your grief, and support you in hard times. I’m thankful for friends who will pray with you and for you. Thank you, Lord, for sending us friends who keep us focused on you.

A Month of Thankfulness, Day 1
Today, November 1st, I am thankful for the bounty of the earth. Our small backyard garden has yielded tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers for us to eat. We can visit the farmer’s market for many tasty, nutritious foods. Locally grown corn-on-the-cob, onions, white and sweet potatoes, green beans and so many more. The grocery store offersContinue reading “A Month of Thankfulness, Day 1”
Through the Psalms, 33
As the leaves turn color, we rejoice in the cooler weather and the autumnal colors. Even though we know that those colors signal the coming of winter, of cold weather and bare trees. But even so, we have hope, for we know our Lord is faithful. Yes, the autumn leaves will fall, and winter willContinue reading “Through the Psalms, 33”
