Treasure in the Tree

 "We can only be said to be alive in those moments 

when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." 

~ Thornton Wilder

Thankful for the Berries

We pray for the big things 
and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, 
small (and yet really not small) gifts. 

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Thankful for the berries and the trees that produce those berries.  Without those trees and berries, I wouldn't be able to watch the beautiful birds that visit.

Thankful

Goldfinch Couple - Heritage Park - Blacksburg VA

Every day is a day to be thankful. Life's abundance has no limit, and gratitude is what keeps that abundance flowing. In every circumstance there is something for which to be thankful. Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.

Ladybug - Kissed by the Morning Dew

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

Time to Reflect

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Thankful

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.

~Cicero

Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.

~Theodore Roosevelt For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, For love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends. 

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Thanksgiving is nothing if not a glad and reverent lifting of the heart to God in honor and praise for His goodness. 

~ Robert Casper Lintner 

 

MY LITTLE CHICKADEE

There is always, always, always something to be thankful for. 
~ Unknown 

 The chickadees visit the feeder on our deck. These birds are QUICK! They flit here and there unbelievably fast.  Carolina Chickadees and Black-capped Chickadees look very much alike but I'm pretty sure this is a Carolina Chickadee.
