Nothing purchased can come close to the renewed sense of gratitude for having family and friends. ~Courtland Milloy
This season, I am increasingly aware of the blessing of family and friends. And you wonderful folks here are some of those I feel priveleged to count among my friends; though our connection is just a "cyber" one, I feel a kinship with many of you who are part of this little community.
I received this little poem in my inbox from another dear friend, and would like to share it with you:
Every evening as I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little prayer
keeps running through my head.
God, bless my mom and dad
And bless my little pup
And look out for my sister
When things aren't looking up.
And God, there's one more thing
I wish that you could do
Hope you don't mind my asking
But please bless my computer too.
Now, I know that's not normal
To bless a motherboard
But just listen for a second
While I explain to you, my Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends.
Inside those small compartments
Are a hundred of my 'friends'.
I know for sure they like me
By the kindness that they give
And this little scrap of metal
Is how I travel to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
much the same as you
I share in what life brings them
From that our friendship grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above
To bless this scrap of metal
That's filled with so much love!

I pray you have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday, surrounded by the the blessing of family and friends, enjoying some of the bountiful harvest from your gardens!
I will be back visiting with you on the Front Porch soon. Our family is once again "on the move", so it may be a few days until the computer has a new spot in our little nest, and is set up and ready to go. First must come other things...the kitchen, the bedrooms, the bathrooms (oh, they need some serious attention), and of course, a nice sunny spot indoors for my potted herbs.
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!!!
Blessings to you and yours,
