I'd like to extend many best wishes to all my blog readers for a very wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving and a very healthy and happy year ahead!
Please enjoy these words of gratitude and blessings...
"For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into
His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting: and His Truth endureth to all generations."
- Psalm 100:4-5
"I am grateful for what I am and have.
My thanksgiving is perpetual."
- Henry David Thoreau
Lord, let me love the little things:
The tiny bird with greyish wings,
The fireflies that shed their light
Amidst the darkness of the night,
The rippling brooks with water clear
That flow on by from year to year,
The sunset in an evening sky,
The beauty of a butterfly,
The smile upon a small child's face,
A loving family saying grace.
For all the joys these things will bring,
Lord, let me love the little things.
- Loise Pinkerton Fritz

🦃🍂🦃 And a blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours, even though you won't be together. Hopefully, there'll be a Zoom call in there somewhere. Beautiful photo selections and beautiful quotes and Scripture. We used to sing that Scripture with gusto. I just sang it to see if I remembered. I do.
Such wonderful scenes in your photographs.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Pat - I made a comment on your last post about the poems and prayer. But I was conflating this post and last, since there are no poems on the last post. ugh. I'm losing it. But both posts have beautiful photos and inspirational words and I thank you for that. As Thanksgiving approaches, I am thankful for blogger friends like you, who inspire me in many ways. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Vinny.
Perfection Pat! It’s so important to remember all we do have to be thankful for at this bizarre time in our lives. When, for many of us, our usual celebrations that remind us to be grateful are very different. Thank for doing this!
Happy Thanksgiving, Pat. There is so much to be thankful for. Thank you for the poems and the verses, and those gorgeous scenes from your corner of the world.
I was singing that song on the way to work this morning. "I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart, I will enter His courts with praise" LOVE IT and love the wildlife collage.
