"Bless this house, O Lord, we pray,
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls, so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out;
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace be over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
Ever open to joy and love."
- Taylor
While not the usual colors associated with Thanksgiving arrangements, this is what was provided for us in our yard for our table arrangement.

Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your comments.
You can use any colors you want! Any time of year! Especially when you can pick the flowers, on your own land. :-)

ReplyDeleteLove knock out roses! What a lovely poem! Happy Sunday! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteThe roses are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI love the poem! Blessings to you!
Everything looks lovely. Roses go with any holiday!
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. That's quite a few flowers for this time of year. Lucky, you!
ReplyDeleteI can just hear you, with your lovely voice, singing this song! I'm curious that others have referred to it as a poem, as if they perhaps have not heard the tune that we know so well. If any of you are seeing follow-up comments, you might want to get onto YouTube and look for the song "Bless This House." It's beautiful, and most meaningful to me. Oh, and I took a picture of that wonderful rose bush on my way out of your driveway Thursday afternoon, and it has received some great reviews on my Facebook cover! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have part of the prayer on a painting I have but I have never had the whole thing, so thanks I really like that.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so pretty.
It looks really nice.
Thank you for posting the words of that always remembered song. My mother used to sing it and I can here her now. She had a lovely rich contralto voice.
