This weekend my thoughts are about giving thanks. Thanksgiving Day is coming soon and we are all experiencing something different than we have ever known. While many may be having difficulty finding something to be thankful for, one thing that I am giving thanks for is a meek but promising new painting. I started painting today and though it is not recognizable, my hope is to finish well!  Speaking about giving thanks, this is the season when we give thanks.

Watch how your mind thinks... Where your mind goes, there goes your heart. Innocence is something to be cherished, and I will keep my heart in the right place.  Eternal life is more important than reading into every post that people make. While others are doing the opposite, I will stand in the knowledge that God is good and treat others accordingly. Keeping in touch with your innocence is more difficult as we grow older. But keeping a little bit of  innocence in your heart is worth its weight in gold! Innocence is lovely. A lovely mind has a healthy heart.  So, please don't judge me for decorating my Christmas Tree before Thanksgiving. I like to have a festive home for the holidays. Live life lovely and love life lively.  God bless and have a blessed week! © 2020 Laveda D. Rockford
