HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS!


 
 This year I am once again so thankful for all that I have, and especially my wonderful family and friends.  We also pray this year that all the discord that exists in our country right now will heal. I pray for our policemen and women to be safe as they work so hard to keep us safe.

I hope all of you have a beautiful Thanksgiving Day and for those of you who live in foreign lands - have a lovely day and celebrate what you are grateful for on this day!

The year has turned it's circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest is all gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway-
Thanksgiving comes again!


Traditional Rhyme

For our dear Friends down under 

O HEART of Spring!
Spirit of light and love and joyous day,
So soon to faint beneath the fiery Summer:
Still smiles the Earth, eager for thee alway:
Welcome art thou, soever short thy stay,
Thou bold, thou blithe newcomer!
Whither, O whither this thy journeying,
O heart of Spring?  

 
Partial poem by Australian John Shaw Neilson
