Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Happyone
I Chronicles 16:8-12
Oh give thanks to the Lord!
Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples!
Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
Talk of all His wondrous works!
Glory in His holy name.
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord.
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face evermore!
Remember His maravelous works 
which He has done....

We are spending our Thanksgiving up at Happy Trails.  A nice quiet dinner and then a walk in the woods.

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you." The source of all our joy is Jesus' love for us. No wonder you're so grateful!
