It’s Day 5 of the Giving Thanks Challenge hosted by Leah at South Breeze Farm.

I am thankful “for the beauty of the earth,” as the hymn says — beautiful fall colors, spring flowers, multicolored sunsets, and so much more. Even though the earth is marred by the fall of man, God’s creativity, intelligence, and love for beauty still shine through. I am glad He made our home here beauitful as well as functional.
