Hello February & Thankful Thursday

 Hello Februaty, it's good to see you again.

Our past few days have been nice enough for Mr D to work in the yard.  He's been busy weeding flower beds, edging the sidewalk and various other things to make our home look nice.  He cleaned the back porch from a lot of winter disarray.  It really looks nice again and we did some porch sitting yesterday afternoon.  The dogbabies loved being outside for an extended length of time, running and sniffing and sniffing and running!  Great fun for them.  More than likely we'll have a few more cold fronts so I'll enjoy being outside while I can.

I found this beautiful prayer that I want to share.  Hope you like it as much as I do.♥

 A Little Prayer

Let us be thankful, Lord, for little things -

The song of birds, the rapture of the rose;

Cloud-dappled skies, the laugh of limpid springs,

Drowned sunbeams and the perfume April blows;

Bronze wheat a-shimmer, purple shade of trees -

Let us be thankful, Lord of Life, for these!

Let us be praiseful, Sire, for simple sights; -

The blue smoke curling from a fire of peat;

Keen stars a-frolicking on frosty nights,

Prismatic pigeons strutting in a street;

Daisies dew-diamonded in smiling sward -

For simple sights let us be praiseful, Lord!

Let us be grateful, God, for health serene,

The hope to do a kindly deed each day;

The faith of fellowship, a conscience clean,

The will to worship and the gift to pray;

For all of worth in us, of You a part,

Let us be grateful, God, with humble heart.

-- Robert William Service

This will certainly go in my journal.

February brings with it lots of hearts and valentines.
