A Poem of Thanks

A Thanksgiving Acrostic

Thankful for this land

Here is the land of America
America is the land we live in
Native Americans were the first on America soil
Kind of food they eat is pumpkin pie
Speed Well was a boat
God gave us this land to be free
Inviting natives to first Thanksgiving feast
Vegetables are what they ate
Indians and Pilgrims ate together
Nice the pilgrims were to them..
Giving food to others

 

A photo of a vintage punched paper needlework my daughter Alyssa made. It is now framed and hanging in her room.

 

Memories... we are always making them. Make them sweet ones whenever you can.

This is the first entry in a Basketful of Blueberries... ..welcome.

This photo was taken Thanksgiving 2007 at our friends' home as we gathered together with their family and friends. By this time of the year the crops are mostly in and it is cold outside; the indoors are a very welcome retreat, even from just walking from the car to the front door all bundled up with food, smiles, and hugs. What a lovely memory of these times past this picture holds for me.

In Psalm 37 David says this: "Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of you heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass."
