Earlier this week I posted on thankfulness "for love", specifically the love my husband and I share.
(And this is my formal apology for being so sappy. I just couldn't help it.)
Our earthly state of marital bliss is mostly for real, by the grace of God.
But it isn't perfect...our human love has flaws because we are flawed.
Today I am posting my thankfulness for His love.
The perfect love...an enduring love of continual perfection because God is perfect.
"You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
your are my God and I will exalt you.
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
His love endures forever."
Psalm 118: 28, 29

Abundant Goodness
Psalm 145:7
"They will celebrate Your abundant goodness..."
Take a look at some of God's abundant goodness poured out on us just a few weeks ago:
Four sweet crabapple trees that will blossom in the Spring, bear darling little red cluster berries, and then in the Fall flaunt red and gold leaves! This picture is from our deck and so you can't see that they are really 10 ft. tall.
An enormous oak, again with gorgeous Fall foliage! Darril's Dad just so happened to be in town to help plant this 700 lb. tree.
And this beautiful maple!
They were all free of charge...a local nursery owner/friend who goes to our church was rotating stock and we got to be the recipients of these wonderful trees that "needed to be moved". God is so abundant and good to us!

68 degrees
How is it that 67 degrees is a delightful temperature for a summer evening, but a Fall 67 degrees is chilly-hands/cold-nose temperature in my house?!
At the moment, I am feeling thankful I can walk over to the thermostat and bump it up to a balmy 68 degrees!

For love...
"...for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned."
Song of Songs 8:6,7
This picture was taken last month when we were all dressed up for a wedding. I love going to weddings with D. He officiates my dream wedding...the kind of wedding I would do if we had it to do all over again. And weddings remind me every time of how God graciously prepared us for each other, brought our lives together, and has continued to bind our hearts together for these past 20 years.
I am thankful for love, specifically for my love.
"This is my lover, this is my friend..."
