Wind is
blowing, leaves are dancing,
Change is in
the air!
Time to take
a look at things
And make
sure all is fair.
Time to put
away the stuff
We got for
summer play.
Time to make
sure we prepare
For winter’s
on its way.
Putting all
the garden tools
In their
storage place.
Getting out
the snow shovel
For storms
we have to face.
Putting in a
stock of wood
The fireplace
to fill,
Making sure
we take the time
To cover up
the grill.
And then it’s
time to take a breath
And find a
place to rest,
To contemplate
the year so far
Considering the
best
Of all that
God has sent your way
To let you
know you’re blessed.
The love of
family, laughs and smiles,
Hard work
and restful nights,
Great mounds
of food to fill your board
And warm
celestial lights,
The gentle
breeze, the call of birds,
The blooms
that came with spring,
A life of
blessings piled high
All gifts
from God, the king.
For now we
come to time for thanks
We gather
near and far,
To sit at
table, holding hands
Give thanks
for who we are –
The children
of a gracious God
Whose blessings
never cease,
Who welcomes
us with open arms
And grants
us hope and …
Peace,
Alex
