Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving

November 23, 2014 By Mary Hill 12 Comments

Psalm 100:4

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.

 

A Season of Thanksgiving

 

 

Beauty of leaves and blazing fall colors in the streams of water.

    I am transfixed by that water photo, Mary – it is STUNNING 😀 I love it.

    I know the rest of your post had some gorgeous things in it – family and birthdays and all those wonderful things, but that photo…wow!

      Thanks so much. I am glad you enjoyed the photo. It surprised me. I took the picture on a whim and did not expect it to be so beautiful. 😉

      Zoe, yes, I captured this photo on a trip to the mountains in the Fall. The reflection of the multicolored leaves caught my attention.
