Just as the pilgrims awoke this beautiful morning and began their preparations for a bountiful feast, I too awake, with gratitude in my heart, for the magnificence of my life and the bounty I have received. Thank you God for my loving family, for my safety these last few days on the road, for all of my loving, caring and attentive friends, for my career, my creativity and my prosperity.
There is a ethereal mist hovering over the lake where my little cabin sits. It's really the cats' cabin for I will spend most of my day in a condo on the Atlantic Ocean and the kitties will hang out here enjoying the warmth of this cozy cottage. How blessed I am to have the flexibility to travel cross county, enjoying the beauty of all the landscape along the way and arrive to hugs and kisses from people who have known me my entire life. My God is a loving God who provides my every need. As Jesus said in Luke 12 versus 22-30:
22"....Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well."
Have a Blessed, Bountiful and Beautiful Thanksgiving Day!
