  1. 1) I am thankful this morning for determination. That however many times you hit a wall you can keep going knowing at some point, it has to be different!

    2) I am thankful for truth. Life saving truth that becomes apparent to me when i am honest with myself.

    3) I am thankful for my quiet neighbour. That he doesn't play earshatteringly loud music at 2am and that he is always courteous and polite.

    4) I am thankful for routine. That if you repeat a pattern of positive behaviour often enough, eventually it will become a habit.

    5) I am thankful for peace. The peace between people that is acheivable even when one of the people is an angry troublemaking what-knot! The peace that helps me to drop it as it's not worth it when often i want to shake this person. I am so thankful that it doesn't take both parties for there to be peace, it's acheivable if one side wants to be humble. It hurts, because you so much want to be justified but it's worth dropping it to have peace!

  2. I am thankful today for the openess between my daughter and myself. That out of a distant relationship has come closeness and out of the mess that i made of being a mother, there is now peace, love and forgiveness.

    I am thankful for the scripture songs i found on the net, free to download, and how unlike all the other mass over produced music they are. So simple and so beautiful to listen to.

    I am thankful for truth and hope that i would learn the difference between compromise and tolerance.

    I am thankful for the free parking that goes with my apartment :rolleyes: Such a simple thing and yet every time i park, i am so thankful!

    I am thankful that my aughter has the courage not to settle for second best, even when it hurts her to make the tough calls she has had to make recently.

  3. I have had a problem of passive anger since i was a small child due to a whole host of things. However, today i make choices when i feel angry and when that emotion builds, instead of making choices that hurt me i try always to focus outward and do something kind for another human being. This, for me, acts as a neutraliser (love) to the anger and more often than not, helps me to get past the negative emotions and focus on what is really important.

  4. 1) Thankful for forgiveness when i am unfaithful to love

    2) Thankful for courage to face consequences

    3) Thankful for honesty

    4) Thankful for the bible verse i remembered at 3am this morning and fell asleep repeating!

    5) Thankful that i wake up every morning

  5. Today i am thankful for

    Greg thank you so, so much for this man and his kind brotherly love. Thank you that you placed him here for such a time as this. Bless him, bless his family Lord. Please help me to become strong and stable enough to be able to be in that place for someone else in need in the future.

    I am thankful that now i am committed with the sale of the house and the new apartment, there is no going back. Much as i try to dawdle, there are things set in motion now that i cannot avoid. Thank you that i have to trust you through it all even though i am afraid and alone.

    For the time i spent with my daughter yesterday packing up her room. Since college and her boyfriend i have missed that time with her and yet not wanted to ask her to stay in sometimes, she did so voluntary and asked me to help her pack up her room. Thank you Lord, it was so special that she wanted my help and that we had such a laugh while doing it.

    Thank you that she freely talked about her relationship and also some other things that were bothering her and i am so grateful that she asked for my input into her church situation where she felt bullied by her leadership to leave her friends she has brought to the Alpha course. Thank you that even though i was so furious i was able not to infect her with my opinions and to establish what it was she felt and wanted to do about it.

    I am so thankful for your wisdom Lord.

  6. Today,

    1) I am thankful that i can trust

    2) Thankful that i got on well with the solicitor handing the sale of my house

    3) Thankful that i found my scarf over an hour after i had lost it, retracing my steps and there it was still!

    4) Thankful soon all this upheaval will be settled

    5) Thankful that Christmas will be in a new place (when i find one!) lol

  7. the simple explanation is that there are 4 countries ...England battled / conquered the other three or parts of them but were unable to stop the nationals from retaining their rebelious natures nor did they manage to assimulate them into their culture so we have 4 distinct "peoples" on one ( or rather two ) islands each with distinct languages and cultures and now at long last each with their own parliament ( althought the one in England still has most of the power ).

    <coughs> :whistling:

  8. Hmm, where do i start :cool:

    Poms is Poms. They all sound pretty much the same to foreigners

    Far greater significance than how people sound :whistling:

    i'm wondering about this word 'brits' - is this what you like to be called? it sounds more familiar than 'the english' ???
    I don't know that any of our country-persons like to be called British. I would only use that term when i don't wish to stipulate which country i come from.
  9. Matthew 19:16-17 (King James Version)

    "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

    Jesus came to point the way to the Father

    4. I am also thankful for my health

    5. And for Robin. I am so grateful for the advice on the house.

  11. There is so much we can give thanks for and should give thanks for. I am aware that there are so many people worse off than me in the world. I am so blessed and sadly, so unappreciative at times.
