Bad Haiku Friday

Haiku My Heart

Month of Thanksgiving

If you would be kind enough to stop by Tamara's to offer your reason for thanks at Branch of Wisdom. She is hosting A Month of Thanksgiving I'm sure you will find some delightful and wonderful words of wisdom, praise and gratitude.

~~Tea Talk and Month of Thanksgiving~~

Remember the tea kettle - it is always up

to its neck in hot water, yet it still sings! 

~Author Unknown

I'm having...Irish Breakfast Tea

My teacup is...in need of a refill.

I'm feeling...Excited.  Wes, Annie and the Girls are coming for the weekend and the fall play is Saturday at Memorial.  Kellie is the student director. 

On my mind...meals for the weekend.  Considering the menu options.

Every day, stop before something beautiful
long enough to say,
"Isn't that b-e-a-u-t-f-u-o!"
~~Alice Freeman Palmer

Giving thanks is what we all should do before we set foot out of bed each morning.  And so it is today that I give thanks for the people with which I work each day.  We laugh and cry together.  They, too, are family!

Thanks be to God!

Now if you'd be so kind as to visit Ruth at Celebrate Friendship  who is hosting Tea Talk and Tamara at Branch of Wisdom who is hosting A Month of Thanksgiving I'm sure you will find some delightful and wonderful words of wisdom, praise and gratitude.

~Adventure Tour Express~And a Month of Thanksgiving~

Due to circumstances beyond my control
Adventure Tour Express will delay it's departure until next Wednesday.  Please plan on sharing your adventure then.

Remember God's bounty in the year.  

String the pearls of His favor...Give this

one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!  

~Henry Ward Beecher

And so it is that I give thanks for the opportunities I have had this year to share the bounty he has offered.  I have been blessed with so many gifts and so it is that I want to share them with others who do not have as much.  Reflect on this year and how you shared your "wealth."

Thanks be to God!

Tamara at Branch of Wisdom is offering us the opportunity to daily give thanks for the gifts given us by God.  So from today October 24, 2010 to November 24, 2010 we are asked to share in this  journey of Thanksgiving.   Please stop by her blog and read more about the specifics.

A Month of Thanksgiving

Politics exist to lead free men to a prosperous and 

virtuous common life on this earth; religion exist

to save men's souls.  But from both of them are born

the two greatest loyalties know to man,:  the cross 

and the flag. ~~Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen~~

And so it is that today, this Election Day, 2010, that I am grateful to live  in a land that I can elect the officials and praise God openly the treasures this land has to offer me.  I must never take this for granted!!!

~~Mosaic/Macro Monday~~And Month of Thanksgiving~~

These plump little berries are on a bush that grows like a weed under out bedroom window.   Every spring we prune it back and whether drought or torrential rain it continues to blossom and  flourish.  But you know...I have no idea what this shrub is called.  It was here when we arrived and it will no doubt be here when we are gone.  Perhaps someone out there can put a name on our dear friend.

Finally, my reason for giving thanks...Answered prayers!!!!

~~^j^~~

Thanks be to God!

Visit Mary at The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.   Lisa at  Macro Monday  also has much to offer.  The pictures are grand.

I would also like to remind you that Wednesday is Adventure Tour Express.  Be thinking about the adventure you would like to share on our journey together!
