I am thankful tonight for a cool breeze .
A clear sky filled with the brightest moon
and
ten thousand million stars that look so close you could almost touch them .
I am thankful for a gift given long ago
of a telescope that brings their loveliness even closer .
The giver knew how much a part of me it would become .
Now the telescope is like an old friend
that
I have shared secrets with on so many dark nights and early dawns ..
I am thankful tonight for the fire in the chiminea that has filled my heart with its
soft and warm glow
and
that tonight the moon flowers are in bloom .
I am thankful tonight as I think about a sweet little boy
that
likes to tell me he loves me ten thousand million kisses .
Oh be still my heart !
Tonight I am most thankful for Jesus who has given me the
Oh be still my heart !
Tonight I am most thankful for Jesus who has given me the
peace
Sweet dreams,
Dottie

Aunt Dottie, my momma just gave me your web address! I am so glad that you had her give it to me! I wish I could have came down there to visit you, we had such a great time before. I will be talking to you soon! I love you so very much and miss you. Love ya, Amy
ReplyDeleteThose are all just comforting thoughts. I too enjoy the sights in the sky. We have too much light in this part of the city (too near Atlanta) to view many stars, but what I can see I consider a gift. When I get to go out of the city into the country I marvel at how heavily decorated the sky is with stars - it neaver ceases to make me gaze at it with awe.
ReplyDeleteDottie,
