    I'm thankful for my family. (my kids and grand kids and now great grand daughter are neater than yours!....just kidding)

    I'm thankful that our nation is being led, at this terrible time, by a committed born again Christian who is not ashamed to admit it.

    I'm thankful for Jesus.
    I'm thankful for my parents and sibs.
    I'm thankful for my grandparents (even those that aren't blood related)
    I'm thankful for the kid's I work with-They remind me to take a "reality check" and realize just how good hugs are and that not everything I view as a big problem really is one.
    I'm thankful for music.
    I'm thankful for smiles, and for people who smile even when it's not what they really want to do.
    I'm thankful for tears, because sometimes it's good just to let go.
    I'm thankful for the hard times I've gone through (I didn't think I'd ever say that) because they have let me grow.
    I'm thankful for Friends that have followed God's calling for their lives. They have given me the courage to actively seek what he wants for me.
    I'm thankful for mature Christian mentors that I can go to when I'm not sure where to go.
    I'm thankful for being able to study sign language.
    I'm thankful for the little things that make me smile, like cats, and puppy dogs, and little babies.
    I'm thankful for people that I've been able to encourage, because I'm encouraged just by the smiles on their faces when I show up unexpectedly with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.
    I'm thankful for the Godly example of my Papa. I didn't think any "normal" man could be that loving and tender towards his wife. He gave me the courage to hope that one day God might have a Godly man with the same qualities.
    I'm thankful for a Gramma who doesn't try to get me "married off".
    I'm thankful for the little boy with Cerebal Palsy at my church. I wish that I could bottle his smile and send it to each one of you. He is truly a blessing to me.

    I've got to get to class. But before I go, I'm thankful that I have feet to walk on.

    Thank you so much for making me remember what has been truly important in my life.

    Grace

    I am thankful for my church and the minister's that serve there. Hearing the Truth preached from the Word boldly as we reach out to our community to make a difference for the kingdom God. Strong leadership that desires only what God wants for us is such a blessing

    I am thankful for this Message board and having somewhere I can come to and ask questions and fellowship with other believers. I am thankful for those who have stood up for the Truth and through thier faithfulness have helped to me to better understand God's Word.

    I could go on and on, for the day outside is rainy and chilly, yet wonderful.

    God has given us so much, and for that I am also thankful
