How many of you are feeling so full of joy and rejoicing in blessings today...?

I agree with you about being thankful for our families and the troops that are willing to spend their holidays away from their families to make everyone of us is safe from terrorist and any country that would want to do us harm.

We also should be thankful for everyone that we meet and for the prayers that we lift up to God even those that he doesn't seem to answer.

Thanksgiving for me was filled with goodness an sadness because this is the first Thanksgiving without my mother being around. My wife and our 5 children all managed to get together for a wonderful Thanksgiving and made me feel very fortunate that God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and 5 beautiful children and how gracious God was to us that all of the kids grew up to become decent members of society.

I am thankful for all of the blessings that I have received in my life and all of the wonderful friends that God has provided me. I am thankful for the brave men and women that are serving in the military and the sacrifices that their families have made and I pray for their safety and their return to home.

Each day when we awake, we need to thank God for one additional day.

May the Love and Peace of God always follow you.

Geepers, you seem like a really nice lady, but that sure is a long one and a bit hard to read with the changing back and forth into all caps. I was thankful to get to the end. Why do you keep shifting into all caps. It's rather distracting, sort of like shouting at me. God bless for reading my answer, and I don't mean to be nasty, just honest.

Added: Hey, So. Belle, Thanks for the extra thoughts. Maybe it's a culture thing, but I was raised to listen respectfully so someone would not have to shout. Maybe it's also a religion thing, we sit quitely in meeting to show respect for each other and for the Lord, who knows our thoughts. But I appreciate your thoughts and honor and respect your difference.

regrettably a post from yet yet another undesirable Christians making Christians look illiberal, hate crammed, bigoted and persecuting! Anti atheism is doing lots harm to Christianity that this is in reality anti Christianity – David Manley It takes in reality in basic terms one to make a quarrel. this is ineffective for the sheep to bypass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, mutually as the wolf continues to be of a different opinion. - William Ralph Inge. Why so ignorant of what motives the backlash against christianity? all the different religions and atheists stay in peace and are in basic terms attacked by skill of undesirable christians which motives all stable christians to melancholy on the wear and tear they do! Up till approximately 40 years back Christianity replaced into thriving and there replaced into no conflict with others yet in in basic terms those few short years the famous christians have become illiberal, hate crammed, bigoted and persecuting ensuing in a starting to be backlash against christianity and inflicting christianity to unfastened over ten % in under a decade with the loss accelerating! The self destruction of Christianity is underway and the only component which could quit this is to desert the damaging human emotions, seek for to rediscover the assumption of a loving god and act like it! Posts like yours that force people added removed from God are employing you in the direction of hell. So who're you working for the devil or the antichrist because of the fact it effective ain't the loving god!

Hey Belle,

You give people stars by clicking the little star below and to the left of their question. I'll give you one when I finish this.

And right on, sister, about the shouting for joy. Southern folks, black and white, shout in church, at football games, and even across the fence to neighbors.
