I just wanted to start a sticky-thread for us who have praises to share with one another.

God Bless you all! <><

The past 2 days have been probably the best in such a long time.

My father and I have FINALLY, after three long years of not seeing each other, not talking to each other face to face spent thanksgiving with one another.

1. It went great. We had a few things to talk about the past with, which was fine because we both clarified to one another that we weren't criticizing each other. We both acknowledged our mistakes with one another in our lives. Finally, a father and son type of a relationship is being born again. It makes me so happy. He has helped me out with things that I need for my new apartment that I will be moving into next week and giving me the support I have been needing from him, but I finally can look at myself as a son that is finally pleasing his father. It makes me so happy. (sorry getting emotional, haha.)

2. I got my own apartment a few weeks ago. I canno wait to move into it.

3. The friends I have whom have been so willing to help me out here lately.

I'll end it here.

Thanks for starting this thread.

Yoopie!
Some immigrent friends of mine had to move houses. Problems: their salary is less than three times the size of an appartement they want to rent. They are immigrents, have accents. Don't want to live in the same departement (where the riots were going on around Paris) because the paper work goes so slow, that they never got their family allocation. (you need to line up from 2 in the morning to get your papers renewed. In Paris -- only from 7 in the morning)

I was with them the day their step mom made them fit a nice new (second hand) big couch in their appartement. It didn't fit in their current 2 room appartement. My friend, was crying because it was so hopeless, that they'd ever move to an appartement where the couch would be the right proportion.

Today they moved into such a place!
(That whas what I prayed for: that the appartement would mach the couch)

They had visited a hundred places. And then finally the oldest child asked why they didn't just pray. And they did. And then somebody was willing to rent to them, in Paris, even though the salary was only twice the rent price.

I'm so happy for them.

praise that i have been given the chance to make some more money at my job by getting a different position there.

i'll be more stress to say the least, but that's ok. working with my hands is something i'm loving for some reason.

so i'm very thankful for this.

I praise God for setting me free and for all the times He causes me to feel that wonderful desire in my heart for Him! I praise Him for coming near to me, for gently leading me, for being so patient with me. I praise Him for giving me sight, for helping me see truth, for restoring the years the locusts have eaten. I praise Him for giving me my own mind, my own thoughts, my own feelings, my own choices. I praise Him for setting me free. Thank You Lord for SANITY! Thank You Lord for INTELLIGENCE!! Thank You Lord for PASSION!! Thank You Lord for CONSCIENCE!!! Thank You Lord for every healthy, right, good, and holy impulse and desire You place inside me, You awaken within me, You allow me to feel and taste and know. Praise You for light and truth. Praise You for shattering strongholds and lies. Praise You for revealing all things. Praise You for Your unfathomable mercy to the undeserving!!!

O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise. --Psalm 51:15

I finally got the kickstart I needed to stop just talking about volunteering, and start doing something about it! I contacted the Chattanooga food bank and the local animal shelter about volunteering, and I heard back from both of them in the last two days about doing volunteer orientation. I'm going to call them back today. I'm just very thankful that I stopped talking about it and started taking some action.

Also the beautiful weather we've had here lately!
