[Nick M]

I am thankfull that God sent his son in my place for justice. I am thankfull that Mrs. M agreed to be Mrs. M. Long list now that I think about it.

 

[Nathon Detroit]

I think the biggest blessing God gave us is liberty.

It's liberty that makes life worth living.

 

[Son of Jack]

I'm thankful for my family (my wife, my son, my daughter, and my newest little one for whom we wait). I'm thankful for my church family. I am thankful for the call of God upon my life and look forward to spending the rest of it in his service. There are many, many more.

I am thankful that I only got banned for one day

 

[Town Heretic]

I'm thankful for God's instruction and blessings. It's remarkable how He works through circumstance for our betterment...I was telling a friend around here about how the things I normally look forward as part of Christmas ritual won't be on the plate this year. I have an abscess that will curtail eating much (and/or the pleasure of it) until the first of January and my 360 died and won't return til after the holidays. So my game/presents are useless and the food I cook and look forward to will be mostly eaten by others.

And you know what? I haven't been happier in ages. I'm taking especial delight in the anticipation of the giving, in preparing presents and the kitchen for the day and I note how the more I turn my observation and efforts outward the less bothered I am by the piddling distractions that had so much of my previous attention.

What a wonderful present to get and just in time too.

God is most certainly and unfathomably great. :cheers:

As am I ...

Oh how my world would come to an end without the enrichment of your politically-biased one liners!

 

[annabenedetti]

I am blessed by knowing God.
I am thankful for my beloved family, an immeasurable gift from Him; blessing pressed down, shaken together and running over.
I am thankful for good friends and laughter,
My delightful doggie,
Morning coffee,
Sunlight through green leaves,
Mountain silhouettes against a twilight sky,
Life.

- Warm summer nights
- Crisp fall evenings
- Winter snow days by the fire
- Spring rain showers

 

[Son of Jack]

Wind chimes on a breezy southern, Fall evening
The first sip of my morning coffee
How my little girl's nose scrunches up when she smiles
Long, long walks
Really good books

 

[Rusha]

None of the white snuff. Snow is evil .............

Quick, because as of tomorrow morning at 8:00, we're so screwed.
