I have so much to be thankful for - a wonderful, supportive family, a loving Saviour, godly friends, a beautiful place to live, a Christ-centered church, freedom to worship... and the list goes on! Canadian Thanksgiving was way back in October, and American Thanksgiving was last week, but I want to have a thankful heart every day, and in every season. I think on the many blessings that have been given to us in this land, and I realize how rich I am compared to so many. I shake my head when I see the crowds lining streets and filling parks in their Occupy campaigns... we are in no place to complain. I pray that this generation would awaken - that we would learn to work hard and to give generously instead of succumbing to greed and envy.
My apologies - I digress. Back to today... a trip to the park, and down memory lane. Ah, yes, my little brother Nelson. Not so little anymore.
The playground set has changed, but I remember swinging here overlooking the pond,
feeding the ducks, getting hissed at by the scary geese, and having the occasional picnic.

The air was so fresh today after the rain - crisp, but not terribly cold.
Those little moments of beauty - so perfect.
These little berries were so pretty...
What an incredible Artist!
I love seeing His fingerprints.
