My Blessings

I'm thankful for God in giving his Son so that all might have a home in heaven and I'm thankful in having Christian parents and family. My son, who is a Christian, a wonderful husband to my amazing daughter in law..and a good father to his 3 wonderful children...I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family...God is so good to me. A Christian friend who gets out of bed at 3:30 in the morning to get you to the day surgery center at 6 am.  And another who brings you a variety of homemade meals to enjoy while trapped at home recovering.  And little girls who write sweet e-mails offering to help you. My beautiful little cat with his quirky little cat personality; God made him just for me, knowing how much happiness His lovely creation would bring to me every day. Wonderfully aromatic foods and herbs -- orange, lemon, cilantro, rosemary, basil, vanilla, almond -- God delights the senses and provides nutrition. A hot shower, shampoo, a fresh nightgown, crispy clean sheets, cool from the spring breeze flowing through the screen: bliss! Prayer, forgiveness, wisdom from Above, moments of peaceful, clean conscience before Him. Spring! What a wonderful time of year! Hope is illustrated in every bud on every branch! My health and being able to serve the Lord in helping elderly people and their families best I can. -Carole James

I am thankful for my husband and my healthy beautiful daughter. Living safe in a country where we can afford to buy food and clothes. And all the other many necessities God has given us. And that we can still love each other after many difficult times. That all our needs are cared for by prayer.  And to be able to have patience and accept that God answers us in His own time. -Lynette

Sound, deep, restoring sleep.  -Susan

 I am thankful for my 4 children and my 4 grandchildren.  In my prayers, I thank God for them.  I am very blessed to have them. -Azalea

 An answered prayer as of yesterday.  I have been on my knees about my beloved 22 year old daughter, and that employment would bring her back towards home.  She graduated from FC, and then graduated from WKU, this past December.  Just 3 weeks ago, unbeknownst to me, she applied to be an AU Paire for a family in Washington, D. C. area.  They hired her, and she came home Sunday, and left today to start this new journey!  It only took her 1 and 1/2 hrs. to get to the employer's residence!So, now instead of 12 hours away in KY she is 1 1/2 hrs. away, plus she gets weekends off!  Thank-you God!

My son, he is a gentle, strong, and faithful person.  He was going to see his sister last week, for a vacation, but it turned into a moving party!  He did it anyway, and helped to bring our daughter's worldly belongings home!  God brought them both home safely!
.

My husband is thoughtful and kind.  I have been under the weather with fibro. for a week now, and yet, he hasn't complained, he did the dishes, the laundry, and cooked.  Its hard to just let go and let someone else do your job, but I was thankful he did!

Finally, I am thankful to be a child of God, and have many brothers and sisters in Christ! --Tonya Shipley, PA

I am so very thankful at this time because my son, Tim Meeks, has just went through a very rigorus time at Mayo clinic in Jacksonville Florida, he was having serious problems with his  kidneys. Upon further examination they found that he had somthing wroung with his blood, so they took him in and harvested his own stem cells, this took two weeks,  then he had two chemo treatment's (Sat. & Sun.). Monday, they put his stem cells back in, so far he seems to be doing fine. He will be in the hospital for 20 days and then he will have to stay there for probably 2 months,  so I'm asking for your prayers.  GOD is awesone and he will take care of my son,  In Christ Jesus we are all safe.   Beulah Lyman

It's amazing what doctors have learned to do! Tim is in our prayers, Beulah. Please keep us posted on how he is doing. (This message came in on July 21st) pg

God never give up on me even I gave up on him 3 weeks ago because I was so angry at Him. I'm thankful that I still be able to hope and have faith and through this faith and His promise I shall live in His blessing and love.

Thank you Father...these trials have brought me to a deeper level connections and faith to You.

I'm thankful for my everyday life. I'm able to sit, enjoy morning breakfast, lunch and dinner with family. My job is running smoothly, my health and my family is in a perfect condition. I'm very thankful indeed Lord.

I'm thankful that I slowly begin to let go of hatred.

I'm thankful that You still want me Lord.. Thank You,   Livia Yapyter

In March 2009, my father was dead twenty years. Twenty years ago I could not shed a tear for him, but this year my tears flowed freely and my heart is now a lighter place. More room for God nowadays and Godly doings. Though my heart is not exactly singing, it is not stinging any more. God's blessing to me: to allow me time to change and for the better. Phil 4: 7 (nasb)

My greatest blessing has been watching my adult children interact with their spouses and their children!

It shows me that by following God's Will, I have helped make them who they are.   They are in turn following God's Will and Way, and are being great Christian spouses and parents.

It proves to me that God's way is the best way.  It lets me know that I have been a good parent.  I have set a good example.  They were good learners.

I have been thrilled to see the boys being hands-on dads with newborns.  I have watched in wonder as I see them showing care and concern for their wives and the mothers of their children.  It has given ME a new perspective on life.

It is hard work to rear a child; but it is soooo rewarding when they are no longer yours to control in any way, and you see that they are doing such a great job with their lives, their families and with YOU!!

I pray that we will all be better parents and grandparents.  That we will go to our graves with a smile knowing that the hard work was worth it.  -Carol

He has shown me how to cry real tears and that it is okay to allow tears be seen in public. From childhood I'd been 'taught' to cry was a great show of weakness and was punishable. Over time (about 35 years) I became addicted to eating as a way of expressing my emotions (most of them) and in time 'lost' the ability to emotionally express myself. I ate and in so doing I punished my body for 'feeling'.
Two years ago God's blessing to me was allowing me to go through a treatment centre, though run by worldly people, taught me much also. I can now cry (not as often as I would like) and sometimes with friends, without feeling shame. James 1: 2 - 3 I used daily as my leaning and learning method. The 'trial' for me was to open up as against keeping stoic. I take great comfort from John 10:27-30.  - Angela

 

My husband has truly been a great blessing to me over a span of most of our married life...forty-one years on August nineth of this year, 2008. He's never forgotten any of my birthdays, anniversaries, or Valentine's days giving me beautiful cards with heartfelt words and many times a dozen of beautiful roses. And sometimes he's surprised me with a fresh bouquet of flowers for no special reason or occasion.
     Also, over the years, I've suffered with much back pain and had a major back surgery in 2004. And lately, I'm having another episcode with back pain...hoping and praying that any more surgery will be necessary to give me relief of my pain. During all these years, my husband has been a tremendous help and very supportive...doing a lot of the household chores, grocery shopping, etc. My husband is the greatest and one in a million! -Alma

I would have to say my greatest blessing is my husband of nearly 46 years.  We have had our share of ups and downs but as we both "mellow" with age, we seem to be enjoying each other so much more.  He is a fine upstanding Christian gentleman in every sense of the word.  I am so thankful I met him in high school, as he was there when I needed guidance to become a Christian and he has been guiding me since then.  I am so glad he was the father to our two children who now have given us five grandchildren.  God knew very well what he was doing to send Leon my way. Our life has been blessed in so many ways, but this is one blessing I will cherish forever!  In fact, I would probably have to admit that I really got the better end of this deal for sure.  - Ruth H. Miller

#1 is my great husband - Cal.  There are so many ill that don't have the support of family because they don't believe your illness is real.  My husband has never doubted me for a moment.  Instead of play toys(latest gadgets), we spend money on vitamins, accupuncture and other alternative treatments that are not covered my insurance.  What a blessed day it was 46 years ago when I married Cal.  -Billie
