A Mother and Daughter sharing their life in the country |
Copyright 2014 ©
God chose a little town on a silent night
To be the birthplace of his son and to the world bring Light
Joseph was just a carpenter but he would soon become
The humble earthly father of God’s only Son
It was to lowly shepherds abiding in their fields
Angels came from Heaven and Christ’s birth revealed
God chose a young virgin to be the mother of his son
This girl so meek and mild became the Blessed One
A cold and crude manger was where the baby laid his head
But now we can see in reality it was a king size bed
Have a Blessed Christmas

I’m thankful for cranberries, turkey and dressing
My cup overflows with so many blessings
I’m thankful for my husband, family and friends
My list is a long one, I don’t see an end
I’m thankful for puppies, they happily greet us
I’m thankful for friends who email and tweet us
I’m thankful for soldiers who defend and protect
I’m thankful for veterans, they deserve our respect
For those that respond when we call 911
Always there to assist and come on the run
For my health, a warm home, and shoes on my feet
That my car still runs and I have plenty to eat
I give thanks for my country, the Land of the Free
For the people that raised me and made me me
For the freedom to worship, the freedom to pray
God for all these blessings, I’m thankful today

The doctor from my hometown of Marshfield, Mo was recognized along with other veterans on the anniversary of D Day. Dr. Tommy was part of the invasion force that landed on Omaha Beach. I wondered how many old people do we pass by without realizing we are among heroes.
He was bent over and gray as he shuffled along
But back in his day he was handsome and strong
He landed on D-Day in forty-four
Forever etched in his mind the horrors of war
People rush past him and don’t realize
They’d see a hero if they looked in his eyes
Soldiers and veterans all over the land
Served from Guadalcanal to Afghanistan
Fighting oppression and tyranny
They gave their lives so some could be free
So many battles and so much death
Our flag still is flying from these soldiers’ last breath
Walking through fields of stones and white crosses
It’s hard to grasp the heartaches and losses
Families and friends left here to mourn
But freedom was won for those yet unborn
As they cover the hills beneath the green sod
I walk among heroes now home with God
