Fresh air at sunset

It seems like forever since I was able to sit outside on our little patio, breathing fresh air while enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. The smoke is part of the beautiful sunset colors, visible in the distance. It will very likely be back tomorrow, but I’m very grateful for this break in the meantime!

The glory of the skies

This is what the sky was doing outside our apartment at the end of this beautiful day. Just like the words of the Thanksgiving hymn we sang after dinner.

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.

— Folliot S. Pierpoint

Thank you, God.
Amen.
