30 Days of Thankfulness

“Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.”
— Psalm 106:1, KJV

Today’s verse reminds us that we always have a reason to give thanks: God is good, and His mercy endures forever. 💛

Some days, gratitude comes easily. Other days, we find it in small comforts—a warm meal, a kind word, a quiet moment of prayer, or someone who helps us carry a burden.

Whatever this day holds, may we pause to recognize His goodness and thank Him for the love that carries us through every season.

🙏 Lord, give us thankful hearts and eyes to see Your blessings in our everyday lives. Thank You for Your goodness and enduring mercy. Amen.

What is one small blessing you’re thankful for today? 🍁

November 6 | Ezra 3:11–12

And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy.
— Ezra 3:11–12 (KJV)

What I love about this passage is when the people began to sing. The temple was still being rebuilt. They had only laid the foundation, and already there was reason to give thanks.

And then there were the tears. Some of the older people who remembered the first temple wept as they looked at the new foundation, while others shouted for joy. I find that picture so tender. There was room for both that day.

Sometimes a new beginning brings back memories of what we’ve lost. We can miss what once was and still thank God for the little bit of hope we see today. Gratitude can have tears in it, too. 💛

🙏 Lord, thank You for the beginnings I sometimes overlook. When joy and sorrow come together, help me bring both to You and notice Your goodness in the middle of unfinished things. Amen.

What small beginning are you thankful for today? 🍁

🌿 RosemaryThyme Kitchen Tips | How to Choose Pork

🌿 RosemaryThyme Kitchen Tips | How to Choose Pork

I’ve been thinking about making a pork roast for the holidays. I want it juicy and lean, with nice slices I can arrange on a platter. That got me thinking about how easy it is to mix up pork loin and pork tenderloin when you’re shopping. So I put together a little picture guide to show what each cut looks like and how I’d use it.

🍽️ Center-cut pork loin is my pick for a holiday roast. Look for a boneless roast with a thin layer of fat on top. Its even shape makes it easy to carve into slices.

🥪 Pork shoulder is what I reach for when I want pulled pork. Look for “Boston butt” or “pork butt” on the label. Give it time to cook low and slow until it shreds easily.

🌿 Pork tenderloin is the long, narrow cut that tapers at one end. It’s a lean choice for a quick dinner. Roast it whole and slice it into medallions.

🍳 Pork chops are perfect for the skillet or grill. I look for rib or center-cut loin chops about 1 to 1½ inches thick so there’s time to get a good sear before the center is done.

Save the picture guide for your next grocery trip! And tell me, what’s your favorite way to serve pork for a holiday dinner? I’m leaning toward rosemary, thyme, and warm apple pan juices. 🍎

🍂 A Little Pumpkin Charm at RosemaryThyme Mercantile 🍂

I love a fall sweater that you can enjoy past Halloween and all the way through Thanksgiving! This pumpkin cardigan has such warm, beautiful autumn colors—just right whether you’re heading out to pick pumpkins or picking out your turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. 🧡🦃

For this outfit, I paired:

🍁 An orange-and-cream pumpkin knit cardigan
🍁 A cream turtleneck for a cozy layer underneath
🍁 Brown pants to bring those warm autumn shades together
🍁 Honey-brown Dr. Scholl’s ankle boots to finish the look

It’s the kind of outfit I can picture wearing for a little antique shopping with Dennis and Zach, a fall outing, or gathering with family as the holidays draw near.

🌿 A little RosemaryThyme note:
You don’t need a whole new wardrobe to enjoy dressing for the season. A cheerful sweater can bring a little autumn charm to simple pieces you can mix and match throughout the cooler months.

✨ Image transparency: This AI-created outfit illustration uses my likeness and the clothing reference images to show the pieces together in our imagined RosemaryThyme Mercantile. Actual colors, fit, and details may vary. Please check each Walmart listing for sizing and fabric information.

A Quiet Moment on the Deck 🌜

🌿 A Quiet Moment on the Deck 🌙

I love sitting out on my deck on a cool evening, when the lights glow softly and the day begins to settle.

It’s a little time to reflect on the day, think about what needs doing tomorrow, and enjoy the breeze moving through the trees. In the distance, I can smell someone’s fire burning, perhaps with dinner cooking on the barbecue. There’s something so comforting about those familiar evening scents.

I sit, breathe, and feel myself relax. Tomorrow’s list can wait a little longer while I thank God for this peaceful moment and the home we’ve made.

Sometimes, the loveliest part of the day is right outside our own back door. 💛🏡

Welcome to the Rosemary Thyme Bakery 🧁

🌿 Welcome to the RosemaryThyme Bakery—Dennis’s happy place! 🥧🍪

Tucked downstairs in our home is a little bakery with a big place in our family’s heart. This is where my husband, Dennis, a retired pastry chef, puts his years of experience—and plenty of love—into something delicious.

Right now, his rolling pin is taking a rest while he recovers from knee surgery. We’re hoping he’ll be back on his feet soon, enjoying the work he loves. We’ll let his recovery set the pace, but we’re dreaming of this bakery humming for the holidays! 💛

Pies, cookies, pastries, and other wonderful holiday sweets… just imagine the buttery crusts, warm spices, and trays of cookies cooling while we try to resist “sampling” one more. 😊

A little RosemaryThyme note 🌿
Some of our sweetest family memories begin with flour on the worktable and Dennis making something special. I’m looking forward to sharing more of those moments with you.

The images shared here are AI-styled versions of our actual basement bakery, created to give our baking posts a warm, consistent RosemaryThyme setting.
