What About YOU? I Know You are Thankful

I know you. I know you are thankful for long lists of blessings from above. As my daughter used to say when someone had candy, “Will you share?” Please list an item or more that you are grateful for, perhaps something you used to take for granted, but no longer do.


I am thankful for my job. Because of it, I meet many interesting people, keep my brain in shape, and earn money to support my writing, kitties, and restaurant hopping habits.


I’m also grateful for the relationship I have with God through Jesus Christ.
The older I grow, the more He means to me.
Every good thing I have and am came from His hand of love.
Guess what. He loves you, too.

Your turn…

  1. I'm grateful for a new lease on life. Moving from a crumbling house, downsizing to a great house...perfect for my now smaller family! The gift of a stranger...a car!!! A healthy family that loves to be together. There's so much to be thankful for!

    Happy Thanksgiving, friend!

  2. I'm thankful for my husband. We've had some rough patches lately, but God has brought us together recently and reminded me why I fell in love with him in the first place. :)

  4. I'm thankful for God's Word.

    Seriously, I had a few days when I kept opening to random pages and for some reason kept landing on villages being destroyed and anger passages. Then a good friend told me to stop opening to random pages. She said what I needed right now was a little Ephesians. Man, was she ever right.

  11. Hi Jen -

    Remember the old song, "The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows?" My theme over the last seven years is fastened on God's faithfulness.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

  13. I'm thankful for an amazing husband and two wonderful children who fill my world with their talents and keep me laughing even when I don't feel like it. I'm grateful for my friends who have encouraged me to keep going with my writing over the years, especially when I wanted to quit. I'm thankful I didn't quit, and I'm thankful to God for giving the gift of answered prayer when I needed it, and not before!
    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Jeanette!

  15. Oh, there is so much. The parents and siblings I was given, my wonderful husband and children, the church where I found a home. There are many more but those are pretty much at the top of my list.
