A Thankful November: A Blog Vacation

 

Yes, I’m thankful that I’m going to be taking a couple of weeks vacation from blogging to concentrate on other things. Blogging is hard work, you know, and a bit of a break is a good thing.

Kim from Hiraeth has kindly agreed to step in and collect links to thanksgiving posts on her blog so that you can all continue to be thankful in my absense.  Could you do me a favor, though, and send the links to your thanksgiving posts to Kim if you want them included in the links on her blog?  You can contact her here.

Other thankful folk 

• Don Sands is thankful for “schools, from elementary through college. God grants us teachers to teach us to read and write, and develope our intellect.”
• Kim is thankful for “the change of seasons and the beauty of God’s creation.”
• Rosemary shares a George Herbert  poem about being grateful.
• Connie is thankful that her husband is a handyman.

A Thankful November: Fresh Snow

If it’s going to be winter, snow is better than no snow.  We got a soft layer of snow last night and it certainly makes things less dreary. There’s nothing gloomier than dark winter days without white snow to brighten things up.

It also makes things more hopeful for those who are waiting impatiently to ski or skijor.

So I’m thankful for God’s gift of fresh snow.

Other thankful folk 

• Staci is thankful for weekends off.
  
• Connie is thankful for “dear friends who consider (and bless) our family when they need to get rid of something or donate something!”
• Kim is thankful for “Bible Study, for commentaries that challenge and instruct, for friends who take the study of God’s Word seriously, and especially for the Gospel.”

To participate in this month’s theme of thanksgiving:

• Mention something you’re thankful for in the comments here, and I’ll include it in one of my thanksgiving posts, or
  
• Email me to tell me what you’re thankful for and I’ll include it in one of the thankful posts, or
• You may post your thankful thought(s) on your own blog and send me the link(s), and I’ll link to your post.
• If you’ve posted something thankful and I missed it, please remind me.
