Day 25 of The Giving of Thanks

Taste
The sense of tasting.
To sit, taste, and share bread with family, friends, or even an acquaintance we want to know better; it’s a pleasure and a gift for which we give thanks. Tomorrow is a day here in America set aside to give Thanks. It’s a day to remember an event occurring centuries ago and to bring it forward. GOD is still GOD. He has not changed and for that, we can surely give THANKS. 

Hebrews 13:8  (NKJV) 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. source

James 1:17 (AMP) 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes]. source

Here’s a video. I hope you enjoy it.

Hot Water.
Not the kind you get into for this or that but the free-flowing kind that washes away the grime of the day and soothes tired achy muscles – a hot shower. I have said one of the greatest blessings of living here in America is a hot shower. I am grateful for every hot shower I get to enjoy. Epson Salt baths too. 

And I am grateful for the Water of The Word. It washes the grime and soothes like nothing else. The Water of The Word is plentiful here in America. May it continue to be.

A few pics – no hot shower spigots available but I think you will enjoy these.

Hearing.
Actually, all our five senses. Seeing. Smelling. Tasting. Touching. Hearing.
The ability to hear.
What a gift!
Whether it be the slightest of sounds like a larger than usual earring smoothly gliding over your neck, the chime of the Grandfather clock standing stately against the wall, the squeal of a two-year old that you love more than your next breath, the yelp of your Lab as you step out the door, the chirping of your phone, that special one or two sounds because it’s your Girls calling, or even a YouTube streaming a favored song.
Let me not be remiss here – I must mention spiritual hearing – hearing the Voice of GOD – sweetly, correctively, encouragingly, or declaring to our cold, afraid soul, His warmth and security. 

John 10:27  (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. source 

Ecclesiastes 12:13  (AMP) 13 When all has been heard, the end of the matter is: fear God [worship Him with awe-filled reverence, knowing that He is almighty God] and keep His commandments, for this applies to every person. source

Now for a favored hearing from YouTube.
It’s special.
On her 12th Christmas, Baby Girl gifted me with the playing of Fur Elise on our old upright piano. This Momma cried happy tears that Christmas morning. 
This is not Baby Girl’s playing but it’s still a pleasure.
Enjoy. :)

Walks and Rocks
Really. I’m not kidding. I am giving thanks for walks with JT and things we find along the way.
On today’s walk, we found a lovely surprise. A rock. 
Yes. A rock.
One painted and placed by some caring soul to cheer the finder thereof. The Finder was me! And that pretty Rock named Joy now as a new home. The request written on the back was to keep or hide. I’m keeping it. At east for a while. :)

Matthew 16:18 (NKJV) 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. source

Somehow finding a rock named Joy seems just right for me. Joy. Rock. 

Jesus
Others
Yourself 

Still works.

Fresh Berry Cobbler.
And I say that even before I taste it. I am trusting it will be tasty. Other cobblers have been all these years. That simple little few ingredient recipe. The same one that Little Girl would stand in the kitchen and wait for it to cool just enough to eat it, many years ago. I think she still would – it’s vegan. :)

Happy Saturday, my Friends. 

Genesis 1:11 (NLT) 11 Then God said, “Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened. source

John 15:5  (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. source

Galatians 5:22-26 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. source

Revelation 22:2 (TLV) 2 down the middle of the city’s street. On either side of the river was a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. source
