Thanksgiving Blessings



Let chat…

Happy Thanksgiving!

"Without Thy sunshine and Thy rain
We could not have the golden grain;
Without Thy love we'd not be fed;
We thank Thee for our daily bread
.Anonymous

Thanksgiving Day in America is a time for family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons.

This holiday as we gather together to enjoy our family traditions, and indulge in a lavish feast, may we reflect upon our many blessings.

“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.” W.T.Purkiser





Few holidays are more about home, hearth, and table than Thanksgiving and decorating your table with simple fresh flowers in all the vibrant shades of fall, will certainly add a lot of warmth in welcoming guest to your home
 

Sometimes, it isn’t always possible to gather with those we hold dear. On those unfortunate occasions, let us help you make your presence felt with a delivery of a beautiful Thanksgiving flower arrangement from LaRosa’s Flowers. You may be miles away but you can still be a part of the wonderful memories of the holiday season.
 
Thanksgiving gives us here at, LaRosa’s Flowers, a chance to say thanks to our family, friends and customers who have been a big part of our lives.

This past year has been good to us and we thank you for your patronage and for allowing us to be of service to you.

Veteran's Day Tribute





Veteran’s Day Tribute

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary
Cessation of hostilities, was declared between the allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.” Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veteran’s Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

Veteran’s Day is a time for us to recognize and honor those who serve or have served our country in times of war and peace. It is a time to recognize their courage and resolve in the face of incredible adversity. Let us honor the sacrifices they and their families make on behalf of our nation every day.

As Veteran’s Day approaches, our hearts go out to our men and women currently serving with a special prayer for their safe keeping.




Dear Lord, Today we honor our veterans,worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country.We pray that you will bless them, Lord,for their unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety,and our country’s heritage, for all of us. Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made and for their many different contributions to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression. We respect them, we thank them,we honor them, we are proud of them,and we pray that you will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness. In Jesus’ name we pray; Amen.

Despite our differences amid the political and social issues we are currently facing, may we build a future worthy of their sacrifice.

As always wishing you peace + and love.
