1. - I woke up alive. ( So many never wake up or wake up in a medical hell. )
2. - I woke up on a bed, in a house, with no fear of any danger or threat. ( Many people, like homeless people, don’t have this blessing. )
3. - I woke up with possibilities today. Possibilities under the control of my free will. ( Do prisoners wake up like I do? )

*** So many blessings each day that they over do the negatives by the tons. But only if I allow myself to see and be grateful for them. ***

1. That God loves me and saved me.
2. That I have a wonderful husband and family, including my grandchildren.
3. That it rained today, decreasing the smoke from forest fires, and that my asthma is improving!

1. Thankful that I was able to play piano at the nursing home and see a few old choir friends
2. Thankful that the weather is beautiful, in the 70's and not humid
3. Thankful for the God of 2nd chances, and 3rd, and 4th, and 5th. (you get the idea)

Thankful that I am a child of God
Thankful that My sons are close to my husband and I
Thankful that No matter what God is always with me.

Thankful I can breath better had a bad head and chest congestion this week from a virus.
Thankful for the weekend after a long week of work, working sick.
Thankful to be able to help someone today.

Praise GOD from WHOM all blessing flow!!!

I had an unusual thing happen a few days ago. I was upset because my Dad was unable to attend his side family reunion. I went outside so no one could see me cry. My granddaughter followed me and wanted to know what was wrong (she is only 7) She then said, "Talk to Jesus. He will make it better."



Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Thank you, Jesus

Tonight is Friday:

1. I'm grateful for hubby who is doing small little snores in his chair right now
2. I'm grateful for this group where I feel like my problems are similar to the problems others deal with.
3. I'm grateful for the tv and a comfortable lazy boy with my computer that tilts back with me, since I need to lie back a lot. The computer opens up the world to you, and you don't have to feel so alone. : )

1 I am thankful for good smells, like cotton candy at the fair, and perfume, and baking cake, coffee brewing, christmas trees. etc....they almost always come with happy memories...

2 I am thankful for good music ,and especially hymns and christian music that uplifts my spirit.

3 I am thankful for Judy and her husband John, I love them , they are the only two people who ever really accepted me and love me for who I am.They been really good to me, life saver for real.They helped me get back on my feet and took me in when I was homeless.Not sure if she wants ya'll to know this or not.But this woman lives what she teaches.She is a real Christian and so is John.

Beautiful testimony of the help and love Judy and her husband have given you.

What you live says more than what you say.

I am thankful that I get so many comments about that!!

Thanks for the nice comment, Rise&Shine.

This is Sunday night and 3 things I'm grateful for are:

1. Friendship with Rise & Shine
2. Was able to drive with hubby to Columbus and eat with 2 of his nieces, one from Columbus, and one from
Florida. I sat with them for an hour at Cracker Barrel, then told them I had problems sitting for more than
an hour, and said, go ahead and talk and I'll shop for awhile. I really enjoyed getting to talk with you some.
15 minutes later I came back and sat another 35 minutes, then we all got up and they took pictures. John
was so happy to have me with him, as last time, I wasn't able to go at all.
3. Hubby went to Barbershop Quartet rehearsal, and I'm so glad to lie back in the Lazy Boy and just play
games, do comoputer groups, etc., and just relax.

I am thankful through ancestry.com I found my grandmother on my father's side. (I pray to find more about her siblings)
I am thankful for the day off (Monday) It is a holiday here; Liberated 70 years ago.
I am thankful for those in this group who accept me as I am.

Sunday evening
Thankful I was able to go to church to worship openly and not fearful of arrest and prison
Thankful to get to share a lovely day with new friends and my husband
Thankful I am no longer fearful when my sons go away that something will happen to them, they are safe with jesus no matter what happens.

Was worried I was getting a detached retina, went to doc, retina is fine. Yay!
Feeling tired, but Hubby called and got us out of having to pick up our camper today, so relieved.
My sister in law gave me a book to read about the Eucharist, I offered to pay, but she gave it. That was nice.
