That is right. It is now November and several days into it as a matter of fact. The month of Thanksgiving, though, my prayer is that we are thankful every day; not just one day a year. To whom should we be thankful? The Pilgrims who came to this country? The Indians/Native Americans who aided the Pilgrims? or should we be thankful to the Creator who has given us all things to enjoy and blessed us immensely?
That last one, of course.
It is a great thing to get up every morning and know that the Lord GOD who has made all things, has also given me strength to arise from bed with a beating heart, air to breathe, and feet and legs on which to stand. Thank YOU Lord for all these things and so much more.
November is also the month weather is iffy. In the Ozarks of Southwest Missouri it is kind of like Forrest Gump’s phrase, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get”. The weather around here is like that box of chocolates. Of course it is like that year round; but especially this time of year. It can be cold one day, warm up that evening, and be cold again the next day with spitting snow, or ice; or maybe just the reverse.
I am thankful for the seasons around here; though, I do especially like Spring and Summer. The best part about Winter is that from the first day of the Winter solstice the daylight hours begin to lengthen. That means to me, that Spring is on the way.
Do not forget to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed; unless you want to stay up until 2 a.m. and do it. If you forget it will not be a big loss; you will be early the next morning for wherever you are going; and that hopefully will be to worship the Lord with other brothers and sisters in Christ.
By the way; the puppies are growing, and they will be two weeks old tomorrow (November 06). From the banks of Flat Creek.
