Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it:

thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God,
which is full of water:

thou preparest them corn,
when thou hast so provided for it.

Psalm 65: 9

This is a verse from our 2020 Psalms series, and beautiful to share again today. Health is good work! Every day, with grace and gratitude.

that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

When are you most happy?
Daily Prompt

I am grateful for simple everyday life. The house is warm, we have water, and I am able to sit and write a post. As others have written about the Psalms, we can learn to be grateful through our life chapters. There can be new happiness after grief.

We are sponsoring children in different countries with Compassion International. This week, through their email cards and help with translation, we sent Christmas and New Year greetings. And a general small gift to help with vaccinations in the world. This too is gratitude. We also support efforts to care for others here in Wisconsin, USA.

Take good care. Thank you and blessings.
