An envelope delivered to my porch, and mail deposited in my mailbox along rural River Road that runs past my home. My post also includes a poem for this time of seasonal changing in Pennsylvania.\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyndalambert.com\/the-last-week-of-february-its-in-the-mail\/\">Read it here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>three_ My mother&#8217;s Bible.\u00a0 Esther died in 2007 and I&#8217;ve had her treasured Bible since that time.\u00a0 \u00a0I am reading it with my eyes at this time. this is very unusual for me because of sight loss. It is much harder for me to read things like this &#8211; but I wanted to feel the experience of SEEING those words of life by using a closed-circuit TV. A Merlin TV. I am writing about that for next week&#8217;s post on The Evergreen Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Four_ Encouraging messages from thoughtful friends, like YOU.<\/p>\n<p>Five_\u00a0 My sweet cat, Miss Opal, sleeps with me every night. When she thinks it&#8217;s time for me to arise, she begins licking my face, arms, and hands. But, beware.\u00a0 After her initial soft touches, she bites!\u00a0 Opal has always been a biter &#8211; it can be soft and tender love-bites, or it can be painful bites. I am always a little bit on alert when she is being so sweet.<\/p>\n<p>Six_My all-black cat, Inca, comes to my office each morning. He sits by the window and waits for me to open the Venetian blind so he can view the woods outside. On warmer days, we open the window so he can smell and hear all the little critters and birds as much as he likes. (I do have 3 all-black cats &#8211; Inca, Mr. Vivian, and their mother, Miranda) We also have their calico sister cat, Miss Ivy.<\/p>\n<p>Seven_My sister-in-law, Debby, who takes us to many doctor appointments \u2013 Bob and I do not drive . Bob and I\u00a0 have no way of getting there without such help.<\/p>\n<p>Seven_ (CSTV) Cornerstone Television Network \u2013 we have the TV set to this channel all day long. What a difference it makes in the atmosphere of a home that is filled with programming that is uplifting and Christ-centered. It makes my husband so happy to watch and listen to the music during the day and evenings. He loves to sing along.<\/p>\n<p>Eight_\u00a0 In 2022, my goal is to keep every article and post I write on my blog under 700 words. So far, I am on track for doing that.<\/p>\n<p>Nine_ the beautiful silver bangle bracelet I bought for my great-granddaughter, Isabella.\u00a0 She has 2 leading roles in the high school musical. I wanted to give her something that will last, instead of flowers. The bracelet has Vermeliho Garnets on it.\u00a0 Red is her favorite color.<\/p>\n<p>Ten_ Our daughter, Heidi, is visiting for a couple of days. It is always nice to have her come and stay with us &#8211; she is so creative and fun to be with.\u00a0 She is helping me get some art ready to send out to an exhibition &#8211; she is great at packaging and mailing stuff!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"font-inherit\"><em><strong>Welcome to the Ten Things of Thankful Blog Hop!<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Join bloggers from all over the world as we come together<\/p>\n<p>every Friday to share those things we are thankful for during the week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ten is in the name, but no one is counting.\u00a0 YOU can link up no matter how many (or few) you can list.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to go read and comment on the posts, too.\u00a0 TTOT is big on making this a friendly community.\u00a0 Get to know each other through posts and comments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"wrapper\" class=\"wrapper m-font-size font-alegreya-sans align-center\">\n<div id=\"container\" class=\"container container-single relative font-inherit\">\n<div id=\"container-inside\" class=\"block-inside\">\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"content l-content-rsb m-full s-full font-inherit\" role=\"main\">\n<article id=\"post-9409\" class=\"content-single post-content post-area post-author-id-1 font-inherit post-9409 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-lynda-mckinney-lambert-poems category-ten-things-of-thankful tag-art tag-blogs tag-books tag-christianity tag-clarity tag-divine-guidance tag-dreams tag-gifts tag-gratitude tag-inspiration tag-journal tag-lisa-tomey tag-lynda-mckinney-lambert tag-nature-2 tag-poetry tag-ten-things-of-thankful tag-themes tag-ttt tag-writing\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"entry-body\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"inlinkz-widget\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"font-inherit\"><strong>You are invited to the\u00a0Inlinkz\u00a0link party!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fresh.inlinkz.com\/p\/8b815123dc9e4925946ec4e585d967e2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Click here to enter<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"jp-post-flair\" class=\"sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title font-inherit\">SHARE THIS with your FRIENDS<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"sd-title font-inherit\">YOU are invited to the\u00a0<strong>Inlinkz<\/strong>\u00a0link party!<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"sd-title font-inherit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fresh.inlinkz.com\/p\/53114aa5746b4b89a15d522242cfbbae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Click here to enter<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Share in the fun.<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_9586\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9586\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/ten-things-of-thanks_sept-3_2021\/ttot_photo\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/TTOT_Photo.png?fit=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"200,200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"TTOT_Photo\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Ten Things of Thankful Blog Hop&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lyndalambert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/TTOT_Photo.png?fit=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9586 jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" style=\"border: 0px;
