Thankful 1

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 19 November 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

It's Thanksgiving week here in the good old USA. Thursday is when we all gather around the food trough to eat ourselves into another annual stupor. But beneath and behind all the feasting is something far more important, and that is the impulse that led us to the moment. The impulse is to be thankful to God for his bounty and blessings. So I am going to spend a week of giving thanks to God for many blessings. Today see a scene from our backyard; I am thankful to God today for our home.

"O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!" (Psalm 118:1)

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 07/26/08. Saturday. Bella's good this morning; walk was fun/no squirrels, but we did a different block than usual. She likes variety. Breakfast -- meds soon, the post-walk routine. She slept better last night than the one before. Panting still, but it's hot. So, thank you God for another morning blessing today.

Bella and I are grateful for each of you, for caring and singing (love is all around...), and especially for praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.

What we have right now are day by day blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle, slowly unfolding.
