Hadn't seen this one in here yet. Thought it might be nice to list the little things (or big ones) we're thankful for. Being so near Thanksgiving, I thought it might be nice. I'm thankful for the here and now. Thankful to still have family around... many have family that can't come, or won't. And still many more have no family to surround them in hard times. Very thankful for the people on the Hospice floor at the hospital. They are so very compassionate... and this is so needed. Thankful to have laundry that gets dirty, for some people have little or nothing to wear. Thankful to have dishes that need cleaning, for that means we have plenty of food to fill the dirty dishes. Thankful to have carpet that needs vacuuming and cleaning, many do not have beyond a dirt floor. Thankful to have a job (even if it gets stressful) as many (including my husband) are unemployed. Thankful even now for my husband's unemployment as this frees him up to take his mother and go to the hospital to be with his dad. Thankful for children who run up and down the halls, as this means they are healthy and happy, and many are neither. Thankful to spend Thanksgiving in the hospital, because many won't be able to spend it with anyone or anything except alone and in hunger. Thankful that Christmas gifts will be very, very small this year, or completely none. Thankful because it gives my kids a chance to see what it is really about... Christ instead of presents and a bunch of things we all want, but don't really need. In fact the happiest Christmases in times past were times when we had to be creative and make our own things to give. One of my sisters made a snack for us all out of pecans and sliced apples. My other sister got up and made my bed for a week. I was so thrilled she would think of me. It was really special. Thankful for Jesus. He is my life, my salvation, my closest friend. There when I need him and still there when I forget that I need him. Ever bringing me back to His side. Thankful for this place, and all who enter here. God bless you!

I love this post sister. I am thankful for Jesus dying on the cross to save me from my sins. I am thankful that God has continued the work He has begun in me, my husband and our marriage, as I thought it was over. I am thankful for my precious son who is a brightness in this dark world. I am thankful that we have food and shelter and all provisions. I am thankful for God's timing. I am thankful for the Bible, our instructions for how to survive this crazy earth until we are called home. and much more!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also thankful for my husband, and that he works for my father and was therefore able to stay home with my son and I to help us while we've been sick (we both caught some gross stomach bug). Hopefully I can feel well enough soon to do something special for him to thank him...maybe once I know I'm not contagious I'll make him his favourite cookies (and bring some to my dad to thank him for giving my husband the day off, too). Also, God's been providing in a lot of ways over the last couple weeks. He's so Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biblicist Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 This is a fantastic idea. I hope to see it at the top of the list here. I'm thankful for Jesus Christ, my constant, my saviour, my friend. I'm thankful for my husband. For the six glorious months we have had while he was unemployed. He makes me want to be a better person. I am thankful for my children. The blessing they are to me on a daily basis. I am thankful for my church The growth I have known there is unparalelled than at any other time in my life. I am thankful for my Pastor. He is an amazing man of God. I am thankful for my friends. They keep me sane with their insanity! I am thankful for Mona-Vie! The benefits to our lives, the changes it has brought could only come from the Lord Almighty.

I am thankful for His love and grace, for the sacrifice of His Son. I am thankful for my husband who through all of the years where I was not right with God that he was always ready and willing to answer yet another silly question of mine. That alone showed me if a mere human can have that kind of patience with me what kind of patience God truly has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
