Perspective

We look around and wish for more ~ and yet we fail to see
The bounty of God’s blessings ~ He meets our every need

The things of life are failing ~ they fade and break and burn
Yet God’s eternal blessings ~ live on in hearth and home

The blessing of a child ~ the wonder of a friend
The ever present Spirit ~ who comforts to the end

It’s all about the people ~ In God’s economy
Love God and others fully ~ His love will set us free

So laugh more as a mother ~ reach out to be a friend
Love hubby more than ever ~ God’s grace each heart can mend

Take time to smell the roses ~ count your blessings one by one
Remember to say thank you ~ to your Savior, God’s own son.

Thanksgiving Ponderings

Over the years many people have broken bread around our Thanksgiving table. Some are now with Jesus, others moved away. Some were but for a season. So many memories - so many pies! I am truly grateful for each one that has pulled up a chair, eaten more then we should, and tilted back with stuffed celebration of family, friends, food, and most importantly, the many blessings of our bountiful Lord. I still shed tears for those I miss. I wait with anticipation for who will show this year. I pray for each one that has ever graced our banquet.

Laughter, good food, and relationship - to me the perfect day. Who will grace your table this year? Will you reach out to invite the one that God lays on your heart. Somewhere, someone will be thanking their Lord over a WaWa turkey bowl in silence. Can you add a chair to your table? Can you bless a soul this year - you never know who could end up at your table. Heb 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.
Heb 13:2 Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
