I love the way the wind blows the leaves and they fall patiently to the ground. I love how the trees pop with reds, browns, and golds like a crown of glory. I love the cooler mornings and the warmth of the late afternoon sun…
A Prayer for Thankfulness in Times of Pain
Father God, we acknowledge that you are the giver of all good things. We live and breathe because of you. From your hands, You supply all that we need and so much more.
