What Are You Thankful For?

I learned to trust in the Lord entirely when I couldn't take it anymore. I lost my job of 32 happy years of solid employment. 28 days later, my car was totalled. BUT, my health is very good & my son is healthy & happy (for now). All the issues I have now are in HIS hands, so I too, am forever grateful for the love & word of our Lord.

Please Believe,

I am thankful that I am alive and healthy. That my husband is a cancer survivor, I am a cancer survivor, I have been blessed with so many great friends and family, I am thankful for my beautiful healthy children, and that God brings special people into my life......just like you!!! Thank you for this wonderful post. God bless :)

Below I will post a letter we wrote to our friends and family and acquaintances. We are so very thankful for so many things, especially this year. Our youngest daughter was diagnosed with cancer on Feb. 29, 2008. We have seen the incredible support of so many this year. We are genuinely thankful for everyone that has touched our lives. As a matter of a fact, through Mamasource, I connected with another family that their daughter was diagnosed with the same cancer, on the same day as our little girl......

The Thanksgiving Holiday always reminds us to be thankful for so many things. This year Thanksgiving brings such an overwhelming feeling of thankfulness to our family. First and foremost we are thankful for God and for all He is doing in our lives. It is incredible the experiences we have shared this year and we have made it through with His strength to guide us. There is no doubt that He has carried us through this journey, one step at a time, one day at a time.

We want all of you to know how very thankful we are for each of you and for everything each and every one of you has done for our family this year.
We have lost track of how many thank you notes we are behind in writing. It has all been such an overwhelming process and we just have not found time to do all of the things we have wanted to do, over this past 9 months especially. We are forever grateful for all the meals, help entertaining Serena, shoulders to cry on, working extra hours, gifts, cards, packages, hospital visits, pictures, rides, continued business partnerships, encouraging words, wearing gold ribbons to create awareness of childhood cancer, financial assistance, contributing and participating in events that help kids and their families get through such a terrible life threatening illness and also especially your thoughts and prayers for our family. We will be forever grateful and ready to help if you ever need us for anything. We are so fortunate to be surrounded by an incredible, generous, loving group of people. For that, we are THANKFUL!

Sevanah continues to heal and feel good most days. We are asking for your continued thoughts and prayers to keep the cancer away and ease our minds as we move forward, beyond cancer.

May you all have the most wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving—We all have so much to be thankful for! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too!

I'm thankful for the good health of my family. I'm thankful that my husband and I have our jobs and our health insurance is still intact. I'm thankful for my extended family and their health. I'm thankful for my grandma that that she is still in good health and I will be helping her and my mom make thanksgiving dinner tommorrow.

I am thankful to have a job. For my family and that we get a new president in January!

I'm thankful for my relationship with the Lord. The fact he woke me up this morning alert and able. Thankful see my grandchildren happy and thankful, to talk with my mom (84)as she prepares her turkey and dressing for our treditional dinner. Thankful see family come togather; and friends who may or may not have family join us, as we feast on dinner. It's such a blessing.

Hi A.,
Happy Thanksgiving! I am glad you posted this to help us all remember that we are well off with our family and food on the table! I am thankful for my wonderful husband and children, my fabulous friends, my job and my husband`s, my pets, healthcare coverage and health, both! I am looking forward to a new year and a new administration and pray for an improvement in the economy, especially in our poor state of Michigan!
God Bless everyone!

A., You Are Special

Thank you for asking. I'm thankful I woke up this morning. I'm thankful for the life I've been given. I'm thankful for my parents. I'm thankful for every experience (that includes trials, tribulations, heartaches ...) I've been through, crawled under or over. I'm thankful for people like you and the other ladies who took a few minutes to express their thanks. I'm thankful for Eleanor Roosevelt who said "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." I, too, am thankful and looking forward to our new administration... "Yes, we can." Yes, we will. I am thankful for this country, it may not be perfect but it's the best one on this planet. I'm thankful for my church family ... I'M JUST THANKFUL!!! There are Blessings Everywhere I Turn, A.
