Nakia Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hi! I have an idea. Actually, I did this last year on Facebook, and I'm doing it again this year. I thought maybe we could do it here too. Everyday this month through Thanksgiving Day, I can post a thread where we can post something we are thankful for. I think it would be a really nice thing to do. Anyone interested? So, here's my day 1: I am thankful for the spiritual journey I've been on for the last year. It has been hard, and, at times, just plain painful. But I am thankful for a God whose mercy is new every morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnsinkableKristen Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I am thankful for DH's job that allows him to work at home. We get to eat every meal together, see each other on and off all day, and rarely have to be apart. It's perfect for our family. I am all the more thankful for it those few times he has to travel (like right now) and I'm reminded of how much I enjoy him being home all the time!

Blueridge Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Our family has all had the fall *crud/virus*, and it has lingered with me for almost 4 weeks. :tongue_smilie: I had lost most of my singing voice, much to the distress of our church choir director. Today I sat down at the piano and picked out the solo I am supposed to be singing in a few weeks. I was able to sing it all the way through for the first time in 4 weeks. So very thankful to have my voice healing (it isn't very beautiful, but it's the only voice I've got ;)!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joanne Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm thankful for this idea of a November thread. ;) I used to make "gratitude lists" as a coping tool in early recovery from alcoholism. But I'm not counting that as today's entry. Today, I am thankful that God/the universe has provided answers to living problems, even though the answers have not been easy lately. And God has provided the ability to follow through. One more. ;) A hidden blessing in the last 3 days has been I have been home in the evening with my kids.

Just Kate Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Great idea! Today, I am thankful that my dh and I both have good jobs. We have struggled with dh's unemployment through the years and this is really the first holiday season in a long time that we are not fearing or dealing with a lay-off. Dh has a great job new that is full of opportunity for him. It feels so good. :D I have to add that I am thankful for my job too, even though I pray regularly that I might be able to stop working at some point. But I have a good job...and for that I should be thankful. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
