gratitude

"Count your many blessings, see what God has done..."
"For the beauty of the earth..."
"Lord of harvest, grant that we,
Wholesome grain and pure may be."
And most of all...
"For the joy of human love, Brother, sister, parent, child.
Friends on earth, and friends above (Dad , Carol, Phoebe),
for all gentle thoughts and mild.
Lord of all, to thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise."
At our dining room table, each guest finds a few kernels (or a mini pile!) of dried corn. We count our blessings, we "name them one by one" depending upon the number of kernels at the place setting. May you and yours be blessed with piles of corn kernels and blessings.
May we all have hearts of gratitude and appreciation for a way good Thanksgiving!
Oh...the last photo of the three ladies? That shall be us, strolling around the fantastic town square shopping our hearts out, laughing and delighting in our blessings for a way good day!

You are such a creative blogger. I love the pictures, especially the first one that is so rich in color.
