Cabinet in the garage and washed off
A year's worth of dust.
I selected my "Blessing" one for my
Morning coffee and now I sit in my
Comfy recliner with the morning
Paper.
I look around the room and take
Pleasure in the fall decorations I
Put out on display last weekend.
I'm glad I saved the knick knacks from my
Teaching days, so many years ago now.
I'm delighted with the pumpkin my
Sweet friend crocheted for me just
Before she and her husband left on a
New venture.
It reminds me to pray for them.
I placed the gift on my mantel alongside my
Word, "Thankful," which is exactly how
I feel on this first day of autumn.
The scent of my pumpkin candle envelops me
As I lift up my fall mug in a toast and say,
"For Your blessings,
For this season,
Thank You, thank You Jesus."
