For The Beauty Of The Earth


For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which even from our birth
Over and around us lies.












For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night
Every hill and valley, tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Lord of all to Thee we raise
Hallelujah, hallelujah
This our song of grateful praise

These were my thoughts many times on our trip to Ireland and Scotland. The pictures, from top to bottom, are as follows:

Panoramic view of the Ireland countryside from Kylemore Abbey
Garland and me sitting on the steps on the Royal Britainnia docked in Edinburgh
Flower vendor on Grafton St. in Dublin
Late afternoon in St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh

We had a wonderful time, and there will be more thoughts from our trip to follow.

Thank you, God, for a wonderful time and opportunity!

And you told me this is just the beginning??!!!! Love it already, and can't wait for more. What a wonderful experience for you two to have, and I'm so glad it was such that all the "firsts" were experienced together. Love, Mom.
