Giving Thanks

In these uncertain times, Where the world seems dark and bleak, Nature offers the peace and solace, that I seek. I am thankful for the sunrise That meets me everyday, The chattering of migrant birds, Going on their way. The changing palette of the meadow, Adorned in seasonal fare, The towering trees, whose brawny boughs Reach high, in the crisp autumn air. I am Thankful for The work of God alone, The abundance on our table, The warmth of family, hearth, and home. I Am Thankful

It's a still and quitening scene you tell of Paulette Oh how I have stood in similar, In quite a Quandery not knowing what next to do But a way through came to me.' And I am hoping a way through this man made Tempest of fear and blame; just the same At times I doubt for man is so vindictive none Moreo than when feigning friendship..' I really enjoyed this piece it refreshed my mind a Little..'

Hi Joe, I know in times like these, it is hard to find thankfulness when our world is being corrupted~I am happy my "Giving Thanks" refreshed your mind a little.... we must have faith and be grateful for the good that God has created and remind ourselves God is on our side. I think he is waiting in the wings to make a grand move. Blessings, Paulette
