10 Things Thankful: Photography Poetry

September 7, 2014 By Mary Hill 14 Comments

By Mary Hill


Our lives can fly like turkeys crossing a country road running from our cars. We get a second to snap.

We can be grateful for all the beauty around; flowers and butterflies.


Simple, fun family times abound in my life. I love my grands and kids. 😉

 I live my life daily practicing these verses:

1 Thessalonians 516 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

I am going to be praying for a renewal this week as I refocus my blogging efforts. Will you pray with me? 

God has blessed me with a love for writing. I want to be an encouraging writer. I want to point others to Christ and show that His love for mankind is real. He gave His life so we would never have to suffer an eternal separation in darkness in which our souls burn forever because we know we could have spent our eternal lives in love with Him.

He is so wonderful and He is all powerful. I hope you will consider giving your life to Him. Please share in the comments if you make this step. I want to pray with you and for you. He can make such an incredible difference in your life. His love will change you forever. 


 God has blessed me beyond compare: 1) a wonderful husband; 2) a beautiful home; 3) loving and giving children and grandkids; 4) an extended family full of Christ and love for each other; 5) weeks of love and love and love; 6) even in pain I can count so many, many blessings; 7) His love fills my every breathing hour; 8) a real knowledge that I am redeemed; 9) He loves me! 10) He loves you.

Come paint your own life with His love and blessings!

    So lovely that there are sun flowers in your post. We are having a sunflower tribute today for Tina Downey who past away in August. Leading others to Christ is a great purpose and the love of writing is a lovely gift. Rejoice evermore Mary and I’m glad to have met you.

      Sheena-kay if you ever can come to the states you need to put the Allume conference on your radar. It happens in October. Just Google it. I am going this year. I want you to come next year and join us. 😉

    Christ’s atonement is the central event in all of history. His love for us, as evidenced by His sacrifice, made everything else possible.

    kudos to you for getting that shot of the turkeys. I’ve tried and my results don’t match the effort at all. They can move fast. I wish you well in all your goals and blogging endeavors. Peace.

    Its great to find such comfort and motivation in your faith , Mary… I hope it continues for you and you reach your renewal goals!

    I love the photos… Turkeys are so funny… all gangly looking like teenaged boys… but when they DO fly they look like something prehistoric or more like a flying bowling ball than anything!

    I love the turkeys, the flowers, but especially your grandkids. They are all adorable.

    I love your Rose Mouse.

    I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.
