🧡 A Thanksgiving Blessing

Happy Thanksgiving, dear one! 🧡 Before the turkey comes out of the oven and before the house fills with voices, I wanted to slip this little blessing your way. May your day be steady and gentle. May you notice His goodness in the ordinary… And if today holds a tender spot— I’m grateful for you, sweet friend. For the joy you notice along the way. You are a blessing, dear one and all who know you are blessed because of it. ❤️🤗 With love and a place on my front porch saved just for you,

Not because I was busy. I had the time. I was just still enjoying it, lingering in what was. I just wasn’t quite ready to move on. Christmas was special this year. A wonderful time with family, all the fun at The Grove, and of course... Edmund and I got married. It was a Christmas I won’t soon...
