One Thing Your Thankful For

[PrairieGurl]

To My Fellow BP Friends,

I noticed on another forum that someone started a thread on "what their goals were for the day". (which I thought was a great idea ) I was wondering if we could start one that states one thing we are thankful for.

I know with this "disorder" somedays it feels like there is nothing to be grateful for but if we could state just one thing, we could encourage each other

What do ya all think

I AM THANKFUL FOR GODS AWESOME CREATION !
This morning when I was sitting by the diningroom window, I noticed (for the 1st time in a long time) the green of the trees, birds flying around and singing (I'm sure praises to their Creator), and the blue of the sky !

Amen to the one about God's creation, this time of year is one of my favorites with all of the flowers in bloom. And Praise God that you ar able to notice the blue sky and green trees and birds again. I remember the day I started to "see" colors again after 12 long years!!! But I feel like I should come up with one of m own!!!!

So I am thankful to have a ministry, in spite of and because of this illness I have, I have a much more tender heart for all God's children. I was a Rn before and so I already cared about peoeple. but there is just something about facing trials in your own life that make you more approachable and understanding of others. So if in a way, I am thankful for my illness, even though I would rather not have it and would have never chosen to have this illness, God has used it in my life to bring about his glory, and I trust HIm to have a future and a hope for me, and for you also!!!!! Jeremiah 29:11

I'm thankful that He's given me the desire to read about Him even though I can't seem to do much else. Reading while lying down listening to instrumental music on my MP3 player (which somebody gave me-I'm also thankful for that) has been the most therapeutic thing I can do.

It is difficult to remember our blessings when it comes to battling bipolar so thank you for starting this thread...


I'm most thankful for life. And For the truly wonderful people God has brought me near to, who I have had the pleasure and blessing of meeting. Thank you Lord.


I am also thankful for the fact that inspite of what the enemy tells me, I am Fearfully and Wonderfully made! God says so...who am I to doubt?!

That's beautiful Alive again...in my case (and so many others) that bottle must be pretty huge.

I'm thankful for forgiveness and reconciliation. I'm thankful for love, true love.

I am thankful for a God who promises to never leave or farsake us, and a promise from God is an awesome promise!!! This one has been such a comfort to me in the midst of the chaos this illness has brought at times.

My goal for each and every day is to do the best I can to beat the feelings I get when I have an episode.

Gods Creation, freshens the air and helps all things to grow.

I am thankful for the knowledge that even if I am "down and out", don't "feel" anything, feel that I am just exsisting....Our Heavenly Father loves me and is watching over me. He knows the plans He has for me.
