HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I must say that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for a number of reasons... first of all, because I get to spend hours and hours with my family with little to no preparation -- no worrying about decorations, gifts, elaborate meals, etc. It's just us and a pot-luck style meal. I'm only sad that it's once a year. We're going to have beautiful weather, and I'm thankful for that because that means we can play outside.

Sometimes, we go around and have everyone say at least one thing they're most thankful for this year.

So what are you most thankful for this year?

That my family is still alive for this holiday. This will not be the case next year.

Thank you for this thread G-n-M! Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday as well. There's very little pressure, just food, friends, family, fun, and football! What could be better!?

I'm certainly thankful to have my son, I'm thankful that we're both getting better, I'm thankful that I can see a "new normal" arriving, I'm thankful for my friends and family, and I'm thankful that I know Jesus Christ and that he has carried me through the awful circumstances of my life this year.

Blessings,
Belle

<HUGS> Lisa!!!!!!

I am thankful that the Lord took me through the Fires/Furnace in 2008, as it allowed me to grow in him and with him, it tested me and it showed my kids whats really important in life.

It showed them that the path is not always easy or painless. It showed me where my allegiances are, as the catastrohic events in your life seem to really test what your made of and show you and others how solid your faith is and who you rely on when times are tough.

it also showed me who my true friends are and those that are not/were not real friends.

For my family and friends. Plus, I'm thankful that I'm in a place where the weather is fairly warm!

I am thankful for my family and my friends, both IRL and on here!

I am thankful that no matter what happens, Jesus Christ promises to never leave us or forsake us!

I'm thankful for the Girl, and for all the good things God has put into my life.

I'm thankful for the folks new house (they closed yesterday).

I'm thankful for my work and for getting to stay home for a couple weeks.

And I'm thankful for my salvation. I shudder to think where I'd be now without Jesus.

So what are you most thankful for this year?
Most is a hard word for me...........I am trying to think of something I am thankful for which is lower then something else I am thankful for and I can't................so I am not most thankful for any one particular thing but I am so thankful for so many things...........

A few which come to mind...........

I am so thankful God shared with me what he was going to do in my life, before I understood what it all entailed, and how the confirmation of what he showed me, being walked in out in the present according to His plans,has given me the strength to keep going..............I can't tell you how many times I take out the letter, which I carry in my purse, where he shared how hard this time was going to be as well as what he was going to do through it........each time I read it I am so very thankful God let me know ahead of time what was coming.........it is comforting to be reminded, though I may be surprised by circumstances, he is not.

I am so thankful God has been teaching me to walk under open heavens

I am so thankful for the freedom he has given me

I am so thankful for three beautiful little girls who light up my life

I am so thankful for joy, peace, laughter, love and hope

I am so thankful for an imperfect family who loves with an imperfect love perfectly.

I am so thankful I am and God is I AM.

Y'all have a lovely weekend ... I am on my way to see some very dear friends I haven't seen in years ... and am very thankful to a precious man who made it possible!

... and of course for God ... for bringing this precious guy into my life! on top of all He is to me. We serve an awesome God. I am so grateful for the gift my Giver of Gifts has given to me. And must add ... even if our Lord chose not to give me anything ... I would be forever grateful to Him for the opportunity to know Him.

I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.

I am thankful that I have a big wonderful family to spend Thanksgiving with.

I am thankful that this year was WAY better than last year.

I am thankful that even though someone in my household has been sick every single day for the last month, we are all healthy now.

I am thankful that I get to forget about my diet for 1 day and eat whatever I want. I am also thankful that I have lost 15 pounds, and I have only 5 more pounds to go!!!

I am thankful that my First Love, is all I need, and although there are times that I desire someone else to share my life with, when it comes right down to it. I am complete in Him.

I am also very thankful for YOU!!!!! You all have been a huge blessing in my life!!!! There were times in last year following my husbands death that I did not even want to get out of bed. There were times that catching up in here was the only reason I did.

{{{{{{You All}}}}}}

I appreciate you!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends here, the ones I'm getting to know and the ones I haven't met yet. May your weekend be filled with peace, love, family or friends, and if you're sojourning out Friday to fight the crowds, an empty parking spot!

I am thankful my eye infection is going away and even though my insurance has high copays, I am thankful to have insurance.
I am thankful for my mondo condo that I live in by myself which is peaceful and has tons of candles lit around it right now.
I am thankful for my friends and family.
I am thankful to have a job which now is starting to be rewarding to work as i got some things down pat and my new manager is awesome
I am thankful for my new tires..I bought them then ran over a nail..so the place I bought them from charged me only 20 bucks to fix it and they are close by. Thankful the guy from the road assistance service I have put the tire on for free.
Thankful for the rain.
I am thankful I have money to throw away at stupid things like Hugh Jackman People Mag sexiest man cover...a cup of Starbucks (there was a time would I could not afford it)
I am thankful most of all for the Loving Arms of God around me.

I'll be spending thanksgiving with a gal I met on a whim...i placed an ad on Craig's List to meet a Christian Single woman my age in my area..and she lives only 2 miles away from me! She also has family traveling around for thanksgiving and wants to stay put. She is out of work and so I am treating her to dinner.

I am thankful that God spared our dog after liver failure -- she is recovering well enough to be her usually hyperkinetic self again!

I am thankful for a best job of my life; 5 years ago, I would have never known that God would bless me like this.

I am thankful that I lost 26 lbs over the last 5 months!

I am extremely grateful for great family members.

I am thankful for a new hobby that tests my patience and temperance--golf is like that!

((((Well, why not... alrighty now, everyone get in here for this group hug)))) {Somehow those also include those that post after this too, I don't know how, but I've been yanked into one before, so don't panic, it's just a VGH- virtual group hug.}

I am most thankful for unwavering encouragement from my family, friends, church family, and many forum members during this year of non-full-employment.

Thanks for being of ministry!

I'm thankful for my family. We're all kind of struggling in one way because of the tragic way we lost a family member just a couple months ago but I think it has caused us to draw closer to each other and to cherish each other even more. I'm thankful that God chose these people to be my family.

And I'm thankful for my new home which I love and feel very peaceful in.

I'm also very thankful for a refreshing I have been feeling in my heart lately. I am feeling joy again!


I pray you all have a fantabulous Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow!

Mostly, I'm thankful for the Holy Spirit. He's taught me quite a bit over the past year and has comforted me. He's personally seen to it that I understand better why he's called the Comforter.

I'm also thankful for being included in the group hug even though I was late arriving.

And I'm thankful for all of the goofballs here.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Hey, I resemble that remark.


Just have to say that I am so incredibly thankful and blessed for all that God has done in my life through some people from here. This place has been a source of many emotions this year - some good, some bad. I am choosing to forget the bad and focus on the good. So many people have touched my life in ways you'll never know. Thank you.

I'm additionally thankful for the chance to get to know many new people in the coming days/weeks/months.

To those who have been part of my sanity - you are forever seared into my heart.

I'm going to join in and say that I'm very thankful for my friends in here!! You have all been a tremendous blessing to me over the past year (and more) and have been a source of encouragement and strength. Even as you lifted others up, I was blessed. Your love for the Lord and willingness to serve Him has been apparent in all you say and do.

I'm thankful for the fact that even when I feel like I have nobody else in the world on my side, the Lord is always there. Even when it looks like I have nowhere to go and no way to take care of myself he provides and paves the way to many blessings. :)
