Please join me in posting at least 5 things you are especially thankful for this year. Here are mine: 1) Salvation and forgiveness God offers me through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Nothing is more precious than this! John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” 2) The holy scriptures John 5:39 "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." 3) Freedom of religion Sadly, so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world suffer prison, torture and death. Our persecution in free countries usually amounts to little more than being teased about our Christianity. 4) My family I had wonderful Christian grandparents and parents. They have gone on to be with the Lord now except for my mother. I am blessed with two children and a grandson who are all so special to me. 5) The miracle of my mom. I treasure her. She was not expected to live beyond one month (after an anoxic brain injury she suffered on March 9th.) Here it is 8 months later! God alone knows our futures. Over these months, she has pulled through many serious challenges. Each one is a testimony to His goodness, His mercy and His power. She remains in delicate condition but continues on, as He wills. 6) I believe prayer has helped. Thanks to all of you who have (and continue to) hold Mom up in prayer. 7) God's daily provisions. 8) Christian music. 9) The Presence of God. 10) WCF... The ability to post and read others posts, fellowship with believers from all over the world, support (prayer, comfort & edification) and new friendships formed. I have been here since 2007 but this one has been my best year yet. HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL! 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By turtletwo, Sorry Turtle, I just cannot reduce it to five, or five hundred, or five thousand. however, ( My existence, my salvation, our family, their salvation, all those who those who love the Lord,................................................Ad infinitum ) .............all from God! Philippians 4:19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Jn 1:16 From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. 2 Cor 9:8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. Lamentations 3:22-24 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassion's fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank Him for helping me through these trials of my past year. I thank Him for my husband who has to take care of me now that I cannot take care of myself. I thank Him for being Him. For all He is. I thank Him for the gift of salvation through Christ, which He did not have to give me or anyone else. I thank Him for my church and worthy families, who have given me much support over the years Ive been here and from whom Ive learned and gained so much. I thank Him for my in real life family, even my pesky brothers lol. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today especially when its the worst its been. Im grateful for fingers. Today when the chemo induced neuropathy is very bad and I cant feel anything in the fingertips (but feel plenty of pain in the tops of the fingers where the nails are), and it is hard to pick up anything or open a simple straw wrapper, I realize how handy fingers are. So many things are simple for everyone when they have feelings in the fingers, but impossible when the feeling is gone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
