First I want to thank you dear friends who commented on my last post and gave me such loving encouragement!!!! God bless you all.
We had our Grand Opening of the shop today. I changed the name, again. I think it’s pretty cool, I called it Stallery, which stands for Sara and Terri Gallery. So here is the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Stallery
I am exhausted at the moment but I wanted to come on here real quick to share the good news with my friends. If I don’t have the chance to do so at more length, I wish you all a safe and blessed Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love and hugs,
Terri

Along the shore I danced
and with great abandon praise
The Lord of my life
as thanksgiving for His grace
Being unaware of the time
I pranced around through space
The joy of my abandon
could nothing there displace
And all through the sand
my footprints you could trace
Even though the evening tide
did some of them erase
The warmth of the sun
I felt upon my face
As ever up and down
the shore in dance I race
The pleasure of His presence
I found in this place
Told me He was watching
my abandon dance of praise!

Why every year is
there only one day
our thanks to God
that we do say?
Why every week is
there only one day
we take time out
to kneel and pray?
Why only set aside
one hour each day
to spend with God
in some sorta way?
I do surely hope
on my judgement day
“Thanks for your time!”
to me God will say.

Into shadows of
space and time
have gone many
friends of mine
Where all those
years did go
I really don’t
seem to know
On a day
of giving thanks
I have searched
my memory banks
For the ones
that I did love
times like this
them I think of
I thank God
for those He gave
whom the road
for me pave
To be the me
I am today
as my thanks
to Him I say!

Be thankful to God above
for His deep abiding love
Be thankful for His Son
Whom our salvation has won
Be thankful for life given you
show it in all you do
Be thankful for family and friend
this holiday with to spend
Be thankful for them all
whom into your path fall
Then while you’re being thankful
may your holiday not be dull
And wherever you may roam
may God bring you safely home!!

What’s to be thankful for you ask?
To make a list is quite a task:
I’m thankful for my life
to be my lover’s wife
I’m thankful for my husband
who is my best friend
I’m thankful for the children
God blessed me with back when
I’m thankful for my great joys
my grandchildren, the girl and boys
I’m thankful for my father and mother
for my sister and for each brother
I’m thankful for my adopted ones
all the daughters and the sons
I’m thankful for every friend
into my life God did send
I’m thankful for legs to walk
and a mouth with which to talk
I’m thankful for ears to hear
and heart that holds no fear
I’m thankful for eyes to see
all the blessings God’s given me
And this list could go on
unto the stars and beyond
But let it suffice to say
I thank God for every day!

An angel of Oriental beauty
Appeared out in my garden
‘Twas a cool misty day
And the ground dew sodden
I’d glanced out the window
Just in time to see
Her raise a decorated flask
As I exclaimed with glee
Thought it my green thumb
That made the roses grow
But instead was this angel
Who allowed herself to show
Then I bowed my head
And offered up a prayer
Of thanksgiving to the Lord
Who charged this angel’s care!

Darling, in your embrace
is comfort and safety
without time or space
it goes on endlessly
You did somehow replace
when you rescued me
from living in disgrace
saying I shouldn’t be
A heart that was empty
without reason to feel
drown by its misery
made hard as steel
Your love sent me
before God to kneel
with thanksgiving a plenty
for a love that’s real
It’s that tender embrace
each day I await
while my heart race
when you are late
That God bestowed grace
on a sinner so great
says your every embrace
is much more than fate!
