~~Mosaic/Macro Monday~~Month of Thanksgiving~~

One should be thankful all the time.  This weekend was one of those times when the delight of life was so wonderful that you have to sit back and reflect on the magnificent graces that have touched you life.

We began with Mass as a family.  And there was the play, The Lady in White last night and the pride in the work of our oldest granddaughter did as student director.  The fun we had coloring in color books with Neil, Ainsley, and Lindsey.  Watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and playing Christmas Carols on the lap harp.   Not the season yet?  What better time to start.

Finally....

~~Tea Talk and Month of Thanksgiving~~




Remember the tea kettle - it is always up
to its neck in hot water, yet it still sings! 
~Author Unknown






I'm having...Irish Breakfast Tea


My teacup is...in need of a refill.

I'm feeling...Excited.  Wes, Annie and the Girls are coming for the weekend and the fall play is Saturday at Memorial.  Kellie is the student director. 


On my mind...meals for the weekend.  Considering the menu options.

Every day, stop before something beautiful
long enough to say,

"Isn't that b-e-a-u-t-f-u-o!"
~~Alice Freeman Palmer




Giving thanks is what we all should do before we set foot out of bed each morning.  And so it is today that I give thanks for the people with which I work each day.  We laugh and cry together.  They, too, are family! 

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!


Now if you'd be so kind as to visit Ruth at Celebrate Friendship  who is hosting Tea Talk and Tamara at Branch of Wisdom who is hosting A Month of Thanksgiving I'm sure you will find some delightful and wonderful words of wisdom, praise and gratitude.

Remember God's bounty in the year.  
String the pearls of His favor...Give this
one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!  
~Henry Ward Beecher




And so it is that I give thanks for the opportunities I have had this year to share the bounty he has offered.  I have been blessed with so many gifts and so it is that I want to share them with others who do not have as much.  Reflect on this year and how you shared your "wealth."

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!

Politics exist to lead free men to a prosperous and 
virtuous common life on this earth; religion exist
to save men's souls.  But from both of them are born
the two greatest loyalties know to man,:  the cross 
and the flag. ~~Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen~~







And so it is that today, this Election Day, 2010, that I am grateful to live  in a land that I can elect the officials and praise God openly the treasures this land has to offer me.  I must never take this for granted!!!
