Thankful 2

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 20 November 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

This being Thanksgiving Week in the USA, as promised, here is a little bit of the kapok tree in our yard as she blooms. It's an amazing sight to see such a large tree in full flower.

I am thankful to God today for the beauty of creation...
"For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise."

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 07/23/08. Wednesday. Another good Bella morning, she is in good spirits, even with they mysterious disappearance of our normally numerous and active neighborhood squirrel population. Maybe "Sheriff Bella" has cleaned out Dodge and sent all those tree-climbing hoodlums packing. Heh.

Bella and I appreciate each of you for caring and 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 daily blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle that is slowly unfolding.
