…discovers no mercies;

but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and,

as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour,

some heavenly blessings!

~ Henry Ward Beecher

May all of us have thankful hearts this day. 

No matter where we are, what our circumstances, what our nationality or religion or beliefs or other iota that makes us each unique, we can all find at least one thing for which to give thanks.

But I hope you find many, many, many. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Just saw this lovely photo and had to comment. How the green/yellow plants and the unearthly blue of the sky appear only on the rippling water. It’s like a psalm.
