THANKSGIVING MORN




We celebrate Thanksgiving Day to give thanks for divine goodness. In America we celebrate the giving of bread to sustain the Pilgrims and native Americans through the winter. A gathering of people who cared enough to share the bounty that God gave each.

 I pray that each and every one of you have a blessed Thanksgiving Day! 

 If you are a Christian, I would like to invite you to celebrate with us no matter if you are an American or not. Please allow me to tell you about a day, the first Thanksgiving day. 

 Open your eyes to see before the the Pilgrims traveled the sea, before the car, before the Christmas tree. A time when things were unresolved and dangerous for many. 

 Watch as the ripples of waves come crashing onto the shore of a lake on a clear, bright day. Look out across the water, watch as the sun shines down causing the water to glisten and see in the middle of that lake, on this glorious day - a boat. 

 Tying knots, a throw, tossing and turning with nothing to show. An instruction called out, insuring a catch, a second repeated. Diving among the water complete, a Thanksgiving dinner for more than he. 

 To know more about this time you should read John 21: 1-12.

 Have a very blessed Thanksgiving Day! God bless America!

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
