Doppler radar and generators during hurricane season...
Jobs and the ability to work...
A small and simple home...
Summer rains...
Life, friends, music, books, food, clothes, medicine, sunlight, ocean breezes, laughter, love, joy, peace.....................
An endless list.
I have one more photo to post, but it is one I am still working on. I could just let it go, but it is a photo that my "thankful" photo hunt feels imcomplete without. I hope you will come back later and that you'll understand why. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ~ Colossians 3:16Later...
The pieces of wood are 21 and 14 inches in length. They are notched at the point of intersection and secured with one nail through the back. The longer piece was carved flat to stablize it as a candle holder/centerpiece. We have used a variety of candles in the holes Nick drilled for that purpose, from tall purple tapers to short white ones. This year I decided to hot glue small white jasmine-scented votives (in clear plastic holders) over the holes and I think I like that best of all.
A thankful welcome to all my photohunt friends - with extra big thanks to TNChick, for her gracious hosting of the Saturday Photo Hunt every week. For "thankful" photos from other Photo Hunt participants be sure to click on the Photo Hunter Banner or the Technorati PhotoHunt tag below. The theme for next week's Photo Hunt is: space.

Amazing how much we have to be thankful for in our lives... something you sometimes don't remember to pause for a moment or two to realize. :)
Excellent series of images for this week's themes. It's interesting to see how others convey that word. I think TNChick picked a good theme for this week to remind us that despite the economic situation we still have a lot to be thankful for.
My interpretation focuses on the family aspect.
Your selection is wonderful. Great for the theme.
love the "little piggies' pic...vey cute
Great take on the theme Patricia. I love those little baby legs and feet as well as the other beautiful photographs.
it's the simple things that makes life truly amazing and something to be grateful of..
love the toddler's foot photo!
There are a lot of things to be thankful for, that is true, tangible and intangible.
loving reminders--I'll try to remember to check back
I know what's missing.

An endless list is so true, even when sometimes it's hard to realize. Counting blessings is a good way to go through life :-)
Love your selections and I will be back to check out your finale!
Wonderful post for the theme. The pictures are amazing, just love the baby legs.
I love your post -- reminding us to be thankful for all the thing we have. Have a great weekend!
And we should be thankful to you for this great essay on thankfulness.
Have a great weekend.
Great post. It`s good to be reminded of all there is to be thankful for :)snerv
Once again, I leave your blog inspired!
Do you ever find the word "thankful" seems too small for all the things it has to represent? Sometimes I need a bigger word for gratitude, but I've yet to find a truly accurate one.
Yes, how thankful we are for the Cross! It is the basis for "every good and perfect gift that comes down from the Father of Lights." Blessings and thanks for a wonderfully well crafted post!
Thanks for the tip about the fan. I may have to go to that!
I love the cross your Nick made... simple and effective. Funny, too, what parents hold on to... what I mean is, I bet he didn't think you'd still be using it 15 years later when he made it. My folks still have a key holder plaque I made about 20 years ago... though it hangs in the garage... keyless... hmmm... ;-)
Patricia, thank you for this wonderful post and again for sharing wonderful photos that speak a thousand words.
Nick, that is one great cross, so simple yet the message is very clear about God's love for us.
I want to take this time to thank YOU Patricia for making the blogosphere a warm and lovely spot in this blog of your. You always make me smile :)
Happy Sunday dear!
What a beautiful post. I love the toes on your first photo. The summer rain photo is so beautiful and would be lovely framed.
If you have time, please visit my photo hunt this week.
