I am thankful for the Creator of all things. Found this wonderful quote today that I put in our community Thanksgiving bulletin for tonight:
"Being thankful is not telling God you appreciate the fact that your life is not in shambles. If that is the basis of your gratitude, you are on slippery ground. Every day of your life you face the possibility that a blessing in your life may be taken away. But blessings are only signs of God's love. The real blessing, of course, is the love itself. Whenever we get too attached to the sign, we lose our grasp on the God who gave it to us. Churches are filled with widows who can explain this to you. We are not ultimately grateful that we are still holding our blessings. We are grateful that we are held by God even when the blessings are slipping through our fingers."
~Craig Barnes

10.That we live in a country where we can worship God or the Gods
in any way we seem fit without having someone pointing their noses
down at us and telling us how terribly wrong we are and trying to
burn us at the stake.

Oh course, like everyone else I am most thankful for my creator. Without him I would have nothing! Without him I would be just another sinner, without him I would be lost in the cold. Without him I would be alone..
I am also thankful for my family and friends, they make life happier and funner!
Of course I am thankful for my artistic talent, it may not be the best, but I am learning new things everyday, and God gave me any talent that I have.

My health (something I no longer take for granted); my mother, father, brother and sister; the fact I know that God is going to provide for me to do His will, even if I can't understand it, and last but certainly not least my beloved boyfriend who is always supportive and loving to me.
You know, one year ago today, there was the great "Ash Wednesday" thread. I still have the screenshots from that. You guys made me cry. =3

There's too much to write...
^ First off, I'm most thankful for God, my heavenly Father.
- I don't know about you guys, but I really appreciate this website and the moderators.
- I really love my family and thank God constantly for Christian family.
- My church is awesome
- I really like my school (Christian School)
- All of my friends (and enemies too, I suppose)
- the ability to draw half decent anime
- my life
I guess I'll stop there for now.

I am thankful for more things than I could possibly list! But, to list some of them....
Mostly....I am thankful that God has provided for me in more ways than I could even imagine:
1. I have a roof over my head, clothes to wear and food to eat
2. I have a family who loves me
3. I have friends that truly care about and watch over me
4. I have a boyfriend who loves and respects me
5. I have a job...no matter how much I detest it
6. I have my health

For the Lordy Lordy, the family, friends, living in a good area of a great country where I don't have to worry about getting shot or robbed all the time, a good education, all the good stuff in life. For oyster dressing, dark turkey meat, and mashed taters.

Jesus, my family and friends, my health, my life, and all the blessings (enough food, warmth, shelter, etc.) that God has so faithfully provided, the beauty that can be found in the world and love.
Jesus is my light in this darkness. He is my hope.
