Sometimes it is the simple, unexpected things that we encounter which fill our hearts with joy and make us thankful.

“True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.” ~E. S. Bouton

The poem below holds significance as Thanksgiving approaches and November comes to an end.

November

November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late.
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing.
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.

~Clyde Watson

Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good.
    His faithful love continues forever.
~Psalm 107:1 (NIrV)
