Happy Thanksgiving, friends and family! We are always grateful, but today we emphasize that gratitude. Regardless of our current circumstances, we thank the Lord for that which really makes us blessed. For we know that when all else fades, faith, hope and love remain (1 Corinthians 13:13).
Wishing all of you a very healthy, happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
What are you thankful for today?
Until next Thursday’s post…si Dios quiere.
For flowers that bloom about our feet,
Father, we thank Thee.
For tender grass so fresh, so sweet,
Father, we thank Thee.
For the song of bird and hum of bee,
for all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
For blue of stream and blue of sky,
Father, we thank Thee.
For pleasant shade of branches high,
Father, we thank Thee.
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
for beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
For this new morning with its light,
Father, we thank Thee.
For rest and shelter of the night,
Father, we thank Thee
For health and food, for love and friends,
for everything Thy goodness sends,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.”
-Purkiser
