I have just ended another day of capturing the special moments in the life of a family. This time of year keeps me busy creating portraits for families as loved ones gather to celebrate Thanksgiving.
These challenging economic times help remind me even more than ever, how grateful I am to haveĀ a profession that brings joy to me and others. Thank you for the opportunity that so many of you have given me over the past 27 years to capture these special times.
Thanksgiving
(Lizelia Augusta Jenkins Moorer)
Let us give thanks to God above,
Thanks for expressions of His love,
Seen in the book of nature, grand
Taught by His love on every hand.
Let us be thankful in our hearts,
Thankful for all the truth imparts,
For the religion of our Lord,
All that is taught us in His word.
Let us be thankful for a land,
That will for such religion stand;
One that protects it by the law,
One that before it stands in awe.
Thankful for all things let us be,
Though there be woes and misery;
Lessons they bring us for our good-
Later ’twill all be understood.
Thankful for peace o’er land and sea,
Thankful for signs of liberty,
Thankful for homes, for life and health,
Pleasure and plenty, fame and wealth.
Thankful for friends and loved ones, too,
Thankful for all things, good and true,
Thankful for harvest in the fall,
Thankful to Him who gave it all.
