We are preparing for Thanksgiving. Is it like Valentine’s day… the one day we remember our special someone, or mother’s day, the one day Mom gets flowers?
Is it the one day we set aside to say thank you? Every blessing we get is from God. We like to be thanked. Shouldn’t we be thanking Him?

I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving. Thanks for stopping by.

Can you spare a moment

There’s something you should see

Can you spare a moment

Would you stop with me?

Look at the colored leaves

In shades of red and gold

Aren’t the colors pretty

A glory to behold?

God’s painted you a sunset

With shadows in the clouds

Clouds so thick like batting

It should attract the crowds…

The clouds are parting slightly

To let the sun shine through

Casting shadows on their bedding

He made them just for you

Hours later  the clouds lift

And the glorious sun remains

Glowing on the water

And a thousand window panes

It shimmers like pure gold

No jewelery could compare

To the glittering golden sunset

He gave us all to share

Yet you scratch your head and wonder

What He ever did for you

You watch someone take pictures

And haven’t got a clue

I truly grieve for you my brother

When I take you by the hand

To share God’s many wonders

And you still don’t understand.

Nature by God
