Good morning Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! Looks like we may be getting rain today and then turning colder, but we really need the rain! A good day for soup and baking!
I took a trip to Walmart yesterday and realized children had no school, mostly because they were all in the store with their Moms! Lots of people buying Thanksgiving stuff, blocking aisles, and concentrating on their lists. I managed to get all that was on my list and was glad to leave!
It was good to stop at the quietness and peace of the Park, and see the wildlife carrying on as usual, instead of the wildlife in Walmart.
The turtles were sunning and a flock of ibis peacefully pecking on the ground. A friend pointed out to me that ospreys are nesting on top of a pole in the parking lot between CVS and Publix. They pick any tall spot they can find to build their nests! God is good!
This is one of my favorite songs to sing in church or anywhere...from the Covenant Hymnal Especially good at this time of year.
Give Thanks
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
give thanks to the holy One,
give thanks because he's given
Jesus Christ, his son.
And now, let the weak say "I am strong."
let the poor say, "I am rich,"
because of what the Lord has done for us.
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
give thanks to the holy One,
give thanks because he's given
Jesus Christ, his son....give thanks!
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
