"Thank God there is enough. 
In God there is enough love to cover every mistake,
enough light to brighten the darkest hour,
enough power to meet every need."

Thanks for remembering us Saija.
Your snowy scene is pretty. No snow here yet, but some is supposed to fall tonight.

No snow here. In fact, it
was in the 60's with bright
sun on this Thanksgiving
day. I love snow though and
hope we get lots this winter.
I love the quote and will
copy it into my journal.
Hope you are well.
Blessings,
Sandy

What a beautiful picture and quote. I think I'll borrow the quote for my facebook. Suzette was too ill to come to our celebration today so our day was bitter/sweet but we are thankful for the many blessing we have.

My oh my oh my... all that snow! Yikes.

I've been meaning and meaning to thank you so much for the email pictures of your snow which you sent me. I enjoyed them so much--really! And they made me feel grateful that we've still not had any snow yet. heh. But really, your snow made me think cozy thoughts of Leo and you safe in your sweet home. And that was nice.

We are due for snow this weekend. Alas. Has to arrive sometime, I guess!

Thanks for sharing your world with us! It's always a pleasant thing to come over here to visit you. Blessings, Debra

Beautiful and peaceful..it does quiet a soul while it is falling. Then you have to go outside and clear it and your soul...and muscles are wide awake!! LOL!
Looks like good pie making weather...have you made any pies for Leo lately?
Hugs!!!

Dear Saija,
We all have much to be thankful about, even if there are and always will be problems in our lives as well.

I over and over again quote the old Norwegian poet, Henrik Wergeland,
"Under the starry sky, do not complain about lack of bright spots in your life."
I've got to admit, I am the one, most in need of that reminder.

These days I thank for snow, brightening and prolonging our short days.

I also thank for the house guest cat, coming for short visits, when his folks are at work.

We don't have the courage to take upon the responsibility for yet another cat. This charming guy we feed outdoors, but let him inside for company and cuddling.
The three of us are feeling blessed.

Hi Saija, Just a hello from me! We've been out Christmas shopping...but its slow going so far. Its easy to buy for children but harder to know what another adult may like, isn't it....Its very very cold today, snowing off and on. My down filled coat came in handy, I wish I'd of had one years ago. Thinking of you tonight, and sending up a prayer for you & your hubby.
