Am I thankful?Absolutely and you should be too.
Thankful that:
- The Lord loved a sinner such as me. Sinner, because I am short of God’s perfection (the definition of sin). God Loved me enough to have Jesus Christ come to earth to pay my sin debt by dying on the Cross of Calvary. He was buried and rose again, proving Himself to be God and capable of saving a sinner such as me. He gave me the choice to trust Jesus Christ by His Grace. Ephesians 2:8-9
- A dear friend cared enough about unbelievers (me) that she carried me to a place where I heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ and made the decision to trust Christ as my Savior. What a Savior!! I KNOW I have eternal Life. I John 5_13
- We still have the privilege in this country of sharing and witnessing our faith in Jesus Christ. All of us who trust Christ alone as our Savior should be concerned for those without Christ. Mark 16:15 “.. Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.“
- I have Shirley, such a sweet and loving wife as my dear companion, provided by God’s Grace.
- We have such a very special bunch of caring kids, g’kids and one very sweet little g’g’daughter.
- I still have one eye remaining which will be operated on in early December — and we pray and expect it will be successful.
- We live in the greatest country in the world, and, as one of our founding Fathers said, “A Republic, if we can keep it.” (Pray for our Country).
- Our Brave Military willingly takes up arms to protect our country.
- We are blessed with our amazing Constitution and Bill of Rights.
- The Lord has provided us with [think about it] grass, trees, sunrises and sunsets, cloudy and clear skies, fresh ocean breezes, food, heat and air conditioning, paramedics, firefighters, doctors, nurses and dentists, hospitals, shoes, clothes, tap water, indoor plumbing, some remaining churches with Godly Bible preaching Pastors, the ability to write, read and understand, a plethora of wonderful friends,
- And much more if you care to list yours in our comment section.
Thank You Lord for saving my soul
Thank you Lord for making me whole
Thank you Lord for giving to me,
Thy great salvation so rich and FREE (Unknown)
Notes From A Retired Preacher 
i am thankful for the people god puts into my life and everything little thing that happens each day. there are not enough words to express…
Wonderful testimonies! God is so good all the time!
Ms. Green and TMW,
Our blessings are uncountable…
Reminds me of the verse:
John 21:25
“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. ”
Looking up!!
In Christ eternally,
ExP)(Jack)
Too right, Ms. Green!
We can either concentrate on the problems and forget the hope that is in us, or concentrate on G*D, WHO’s Presence blots out all these petty little things!
Thanks for the reminder, I had a frustrating and discouraging day yesterday…and felt like I was buried under a mountain of difficulties…I needed that!
G*D bless and MARANATHA!

I’m thankful that God led me to a real Christian, Bible believing church and to a Bible College that literally changed my life by teaching me enough of the Word that after 6 weeks I became a Christian by trusting Christ as my savior. I’m thankful for my husband, who is my spiritual leader and a wonderful spouse and dad. I’m thankful that all my children are saved. I’m thankful that God has allowed me to lead others to Christ. I’m thankful for my health. I’m thankful for being born in the country. I’m thankful that I have a Bible of my own, and a personal and permanent open door to the throneroom when I can bring my thoughts, requests and praised straight to my heavenly Father because I am adopted into His family.
Gee, after mentioning just these few blessings, it’s hard to think about problems.
FrassyPoo,
Still praying for y’all and India,
