I am thankful that God hasn't left my side, even though I tried running away from Him so often. He has saved me, by His grace alone, and I am beyond grateful! I am thankful that there is NOTHING I could do to save myself - that salvation is His gift to me. And you! c",)
Today I am most thankful for God sending me and my Dad to the Cancer Treatment Center of America in Philadelphia. I think through all the prayer for him and this staff my DAD finally sees HOPE in his fight against caner! I am THANKFUL!!!
I am thankful for all the trial that our family has seen over this last year. It has all drawn us closer to our Heavenly Father! I am also thankful that we are getting settled in our new home, my childhood home, and life is starting to get back to normal!

Hi Suem thanks for stopping by the other day. Come by again anytime to the ole' farm, I love to have visitors!
I have so many things to be thankful for there isn't room to write them all! I had a very bad fall off one of my horses 5 weeks ago and in reality shouldn't even be here or should at least have a broken neck from the way I landed. God spared me from all of this and I am healing very well from the injuries that I did sustain. ONLY by the grace of God did I come out of this whole!!!! ONLY!!!! This is just one of MANY things that I am praising God for and am so thankful! (thediz@adelphia.net)
What a great giveaway!

On a superficial level, I am thankful you will send me cocoa istead of coffee if I win this giveaway. :)
But the thing for which I am most thankful today is God's goodness in all things. He gives hope when there seems to be no room for hope. He uses our hard times for our good. He redeems us and makes all things new. I am so thankful for Him!!!
Thankful for eternal life through Jesus Christ... forever thankful.

Well I am thankful for coffee! I love it. Unfortunately my husband has told me I can not longer visit the local coffee drive up so frequently. So I don't believe I actually had any today. I guess i could make it at home but its so good when its handed to you nice and hot and already made.
So yup I am thankful for coffee... and my little 4 year old red head who keeps me on my toes.
I am thankful for a God that so tenderly and patiently keeps His hand to the wheel as this piece of clay so often makes molding difficult. God Thank you that you love me so much and you're willing to continue working in my heart and spirit!

Blessings to you!
Susan
Hi Sue, lovely music that is, please sign me up.
I am thankful for the gift of Jeusus ...Emmanuel, God gave us at Christmas
This is very cool! I love giveaways so much because I meet so many interesting people! So much fun!
I am so thankful for the God of Heaven, who loves me in spite of my sin, and Who continues to guide my path toward being more Christ-like. Without that, I would have nothing. It helps me to be a better wife, a better mother, a better friend, and a better Christian.
I am thankful for peace in the midst of storms of this life. Thankful that God is in the business of second chances. And thankful that He turns us to others who are living as His hands and feet (and fingers through those typing in blogland)...people like you, Sue, and your blogging friends!
Blessings,
Michelle

I am thankful for everything...the good, the bad and the ugly! Love the fall and made a comment while driving in the car with my kids on how beautiful all the trees are with the changing leaves and colors and I wondered why God didn't just make them colorful like this all year round. My son's response...if God made the trees colorful all year round you would appreciate it or notice it! God is so good to me...blessing me daily!!
What a sweet giveaway! Two of my very favorite things, Christmas music and coffee!

this very moment what i am thankful for is that my beautiful God rescued me from the domain of darkness and tranferred me into the kingdom of his beloved son...i read in the newspapers this a.m. about a 22-year-old who was drunk (wasn't the first time--he had been convicted of possession of drugs before that) and he ran a red light and killed a mommy and daddy of an 8-year-old and a 5-year-old. The couple was 29 and 30 years old. These two precious kids' biological father was killed about 5 years ago and their mommy had remarried...I say all that to say...but by the grace of God, there goes I...I was headed in a path of drugs and drinking to fill my empty heart...my brother never made it out of that and he died...I did make it out by God's grace and the most amazing thing is this---by God's Presence and Power I have been able to raise 4 awesome children who walk with God and love Him...that's new for the generations I have come from...praise God! Thank you for redeeming my soul! Making me whole! And please God please be with those two precious children today who once again have lost significantly losing their mommy and daddy. But You are right there with them---may they know it and find you in this life! I just had to write this Sue---
I am thankful for a Savior who loved me when I was loveable.

"In everything give thanks."
Today I am thankful for the time that I get to spend with my family and friends. I am ever thankful for their love and support.
I am thankful for a God whose love is never changing, even though there are multiple changes around me. I am thankful for my husband of 20 years, and for the 6 great girls God has blessed us with.
I am thankful that my husband has a new job after being out of work for six months.
And I am thankful for people having contests - contests have been a great blessing to me in recent months, particularly!
I am thankful for the Lord, family, and a chance to win your contest!
I'm thankful for my morning quiet time, particularly with a good cup of coffee!
I am ever so thankful that the Lord protected my children and I this past week as we were shopping in Walmart when a man began harrassing us and eventually was (praise the Lord) hauled off by the police!

I am so thankful that I'll never be the same again, thanks to our Father's sweet grace. I am thankful for that grace in my relationship with Him, in my recent marriage with my best friend, and in my classroom as I see 150 kids each day! God's grace changes our days.... That makes me thankful.
I'm thankful for stumbling upon your blog as I was browsing through the Faith Lifts blogroll. My family lives in Wayland and Plainwell area. I am very familiar with Allegan!

We have been married 8 months and are looking forward to celebrating our first Thanksgiving and Christmas together. I'd be so happy if you would visit my blog. I'd sure love to win some Christmas music and some Godiva coffee! Wowee! I will be in Michigan the end of November beginning of December...so I have an American address! Please enter me. Happy Thanksgiving!
