GIVING THANKS








This weekend, as we celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada, the words of one of my favorite hymns are very appropriate:






"THANKS TO GOD"

Thanks for roses by the wayside,

Thanks for thorns their stems contain!

Thanks for home and thanks for fireside,

Thanks for hope, that sweet refrain!

Thanks for joy and thanks for sorrow,

Thanks for heavenly peace with Thee!

Thanks for hope in the tomorrow,

Thanks through all eternity!

Decorating for Thanksgiving 2020

Due to our Provincial rules, they are only allowed 10 guests The wedding will be held in his parents' back yard so another 10 of us will be seated in the yard next door to see the ceremony.+ It has been almost 2 years since I  last posted. Sometimes life events get in the way!
