Thanksgiving

Psalm 100:4 - Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. Pics are: Winterfest of Lights, sunrise on beach, Linda and Ginger on hotel patio, shoppers holiday fair at the convention center, and Lloyd & Linda at The Carousel Hotel where we had Thanksgiving dinner We had a sweet thanksgiving this year. We are such a small family that my husband, sister, and I often opt to dine out versus making the turkey and all the trimmings. This year we went to Ocean City Maryland. We enjoyed a quiet time of walks on the boardwalk, dinner overlooking the ocean, Christmas lights, and a little bit of shopping. We ate well, laughed lots, rested much, and made memories that we will keep in our hearts. I am so thankful to God for all that He has given me, and yes for even what He has not.

Scars

Jeremiah 30:17 "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the LORD, 'because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares." I was at the doctor's not long ago for a physical. I've been having some problems with my knee and she was examining it. It seems that the wear and tear of age means that the pain I feel is arthritis. But as she was looking at my knee she noticed a scar. "Oh, I said. That's a very old bicycle injury". Suddenly I remembered a day that was about 47 years ago and I was racing my bike up the street. Stevie B, a neighbor and one of the smart alecs in our class thought it would be funny to cut me off so he could win the race. I never knew of such dirty tricks and I was shocked as I lost control of my bike and fell to the pavement. It was a nasty bruise that lasted for a long time. I'm a grown woman today and the scar is still visible. I got to thinking about how we can have scars in our souls. M
