Happy Thanksgiving
This has been such a wonderful day. I feel better than I have in weeks. My house is mostly clean, and I spent a glorious time with the Lord - reading the Word and praying.
Richard took me out to lunch and our waitress was genuinely friendly. Her smile was warm and infectious and she seemed truly honored to serve us. He gave her a $5 (33%) tip, something way out of character for my Sweetie.
A servant's heart is something pleasing to the Lord, and to man. Jesus came with the heart of a servant, even stooping to wash feet, the most menial of tasks... even laying down His life. I pray I can develop and reflect a servant's heart, too.
After my Honey went to work, I spent about an hour in the yard, watering, pulling some weeds, enjoying the mild bite of the fall breeze. It was good to be outside behind the house in our stand of tall pines. We're far enough out of town to escape the smells of the city, and the delicate scents of grass and trees and earth mingled to dance ever so lightly through my olfactories.
We are joining Athena and Brian at a friends home to for a festive celebration of Thanksgiving and food. There will be about ten of us. I like that. Good things are always better when shared with others... well usually. Anyway, all I will be cooking is the mashed potatoes.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
