I am thankful for the beauty of the earth.
"For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise"
I am thankful that I have gotten to see this beauty both at home and away.

Gorgeous photos! Thanks so much for posting these!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. For the last few days, since we had the beautiful sunset, the above hymn has been going through my head. One thing lead to another and it became a Thankful Sunday post.
DeleteYou have some incredibly lovely views from your house/yard.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky in that way. Sometimes I don't see them if I'm looking at the weeds and uncut grass, but I'm getting better.
DeleteThat is a beautiful sunset :)
ReplyDeleteBecause of the position of our house, we don't always get the best views of the sunsets. However, this one was high in the sky and could be seen. I'm glad I was looking out that day.
DeleteI love that hymn, your pictures, and your grateful spirit. :)
ReplyDeleteI have always loved that hymn also.
