Thanksgiving 

TeaTime Tuesday ~

"Earth is crammed with heaven, 

& every common bush afire with God, 

but only he who sees takes off his shoes."

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

take these moments ~

 relax and respond

to glorious autumn...

"The golden moments in the stream of life

rush past us and we see nothing but sand;

the angels come to visit us,

and we only know  them when they are gone."

~ George Eliot

life is not an emergency...

i want to live life as if it isn’t an emergency~

because it isn’t.

it is a gift...

in giving thanks, we get more time

... we see each moment as it is,

seed:

and the attentiveness slows. time. down.

life is not an emergency ~

giving thanks,
gives us time...

time to enjoy the gift!

something for which i'm grateful ?
*~ YOU ~*
each of you who visits
each who takes time to chat

THANKS!
for being YOU!
and for
being here!
God bless you with his Presence today...

living thanksgiving...

eucharisteo

our deep joy

is found only at the table of thanksgiving~

taking everything God gives as grace,

giving God our thanks for it,

then giving it to others

the giving of thanks

is what makes us well

the giving of thanks

always precedes the miracle

giving of thanks

manifests the fullness,

the wholeness, the completeness,

the joy,

of our salvation...

here's today's Bloom bookclub 

chapter 2 discussion with author Ann Voskamp



One Thousand Gifts: Chapter Two from Bloom (in)courage on Vimeo.

"i thank you, ADONAI...

See!  God is my salvation.

i am confident and  unafraid;

for Yah ADONAI is my strength and my song,

and He has become my salvation!

Then you will joyfully draw water

from the springs of salvation.

On that day you will say,

"Give thanks to ADONAI!

Call on His Name!"

Isaiah 12.1-4

Complete Jewish Bible

today may we offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving
 'todah'
the giving of thanks
even before the receiving

today may we intentionally choose the JOY
of living lives of eucharisteo

happy thanksgiving sunday ...

thanksgiving Sunday today.  a time of beauty and gratitude.  acknowledgement of God's goodness toward us.  abundance and bountiful provision.  Rev Mike Endicott of Jacob's Well, Wales, shares a brief reminder of grace & gratitude with us today.  may you be inspired and inspirited...

Moment of Glory Moment of Grace



 MEDITATION~
All abundance is in Christ, enough to answer all his people's needs.
All the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily In Christ,
that out of his fullness we can receive all spiritual blessings!
the exhaustless ocean of Jesus ...

yay! friday ...

well, i am now a fully certified leader in Stanford U's "Chronic Illness Self Management Program" !  good worldwide !   and happy to have gone through the excellent program.  i've learned MANY self management tools myself which have already been of benefit while learning.

so now that i'm home i can respond to Singing Owl's Friday Five from Rev Gals.  here's today's prompt ~

Hello everyone! The Canadian geese are excited, forming up and practicing, encouraging each other with honking, the Wisconsin fall color is at peak where I am, and in Kohl's Dept. Store the Christmas decorations are up. Yep, Fall is here. It's my turn to do the Rev Gal Blog Pals Friday Five. It has been a while since we did one of these word association Friday FIves, so here goes, with an autumnal theme. I know, fall is one way on this side of the world and different in other places, but please bear with me as I post words that say FALL--at least where I am.

Give us the the first word that comes to mind (you know how that works, right?) and then add a little something about why, or how or what.

1. Pumpkins ~ PIE !! 

 it's Thanksgiving weekend here

it's ESSENTIAL to this celebration !!



2. Campfire ~ girls -

i have no idea why that popped into my head ;) ?!

3. Apples - golden ~ 

one of my favourites :)  golden delicious



4. Color ~ blue 

 is what instantly came to my mind ... 

5. Halloween ~ FuN

 because that's what it was when i was a child - just FuN.  NOT scary!

And since it is REV Gals and their Pals, here is the bonus question, sort of a serious one:

What does the following passage from Daniel 2 make you think about?

"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
Wisdom and power are his...
He changes times and seasons."

it reminds me of the awesome Greatness 

that oversees the world in which i/we live, move and have our being...

the worthiness of praise that God bears...

and the recognition that is due for what we take for granted...

thanks Singing Owl ! 

i enjoyed your excellent and thoughtful prompt ~
