My dear daughter-in-law, Elisabeth Rodgers, and I have been painting glass today. She's teaching me how to do it. She painted the plate on the right and I painted the crystal candlesticks to match my favorite dishes...just in time for Thanksgiving!
I will be posting a little tutorial later, but for now, I just want to share a poem/song I wrote several years ago especially for this holiday. Click here to listen to a recording: http://www.box.net/shared/8hdj1xa5zi
In Everything Give Thanks..
For this new day that You have made,
Each detail you have planned.
The pleasant and the difficult,
Remind me to be glad.
For everything I need to live,
my food, my clothes, my home.
For all the blessings that You give,
my thanks to You I owe.
I thank you for your Holy Word,
to light my path each day,
and grace to follow you, Oh Lord,
if only I will pray.
Let no ungrateful words be said,
and may it never be,
that I would carelessly neglect
to give my thanks to Thee.
In everything I will give thanks,
For this is the will of God.
Since all things work out for the good,
to those who love the Lord.
Happy Thanksgiving!
