The "I'm thankful for..." Thread :)

[Saricharity]

In honour of Canadian Thanksgiving approaching next weekend, I thought we could post our blessings and what we are thankful for

I'm thankful for my amazing, one of a kind hubby!
I'm thankful for the fabulous house we bought and are renovating together.
I'm thankful for our new little puppy we just adopted. "Brownie" (And I still love my fish, Raspberry)
I'm thankful for my fantastic, supportive parents who I adore with all my heart.
I'm thankful for all of my family.

(I'm sure I will add more as time permits )

I’m thankful that I have both Canadian and American family, so I can celebrate both Thanksgiving holidays.

I’m thankful that I have the most wonderful wife in the world who puts up with my “quirks” (faults might be a better term).

I’m thankful that I was able to go apple picking with my young godchildren yesterday, which put a big smile on my face and gave me some laughs for the first time in several months.

I’m thankful for having a job that provides for all of my family’s needs.

I’m thankful for so many other things I can’t enumerate them all.

And I’m thankful for @Saricharity for starting this thread, which got me thinking about all those reasons I have to be thankful, at this time when things have seemed difficult and painful. It is good to be reminded of our blessings.

Let's just get this out of the way, since it (and specifics I will not get into) popped into my mind first: I'm thankful for married sexuality lol

Onto the other things:

I'm thankful for an amazing wife
I'm thankful for a wonderful puppy
I'm thankful that I can afford and run the podcast and website
I'm thankful for awesome friends and family
I'm thankful for friends here on the forums (shoutout, @Saricharity ).
I'm insanely thankful for the Lord's blessings.

More to come later.

Per your "grump" in the other thread: I am VERY GLAD and THANKFUL that God is slowly but surely leading me out of the extreme legalism I was raised in.

Praise the Lord for that! Legalism is a cancer, and it needs to be stopped in its tracks before it destroys our witness.

I'm thankful for warm sweaters and beautiful, colourful sugar maples.
I'm thankful for a new hot cocoa recipe. Cocoa is life in the chilly weather

Here is my new easy recipe...loaded with delicious healthiness.

1 cup Almond or Cashew milk
1tbsp cocoa
1tbsp maple syrup
1tsp vanilla
pinch of sea salt
(you can add a drop of peppermint extract if you want)

Stir well and bring just to a boil. Enjoy!! YUMMY!

In Ontario. Yeah, snow is the 4 letter S word one should refrain from saying at all times! We're going to have a "summeresque Thanksgiving" from the sounds of it! I'll take it!

 

[Saricharity]

My family tells me it is sunshiny and a warm 23 in their neck of the woods.
Tomorrow, we travel to Ontario for Thanksgiving! WOOT WOOT! Can't wait to spend time with family for Canadian Thanksgiving

 

[Dave-W]

Was at a quilting show in Virginia Beach over the weekend. It was sunny and in the 80s (almost summer like) The vendors in one booth had come from Calgary Alberta (CA) and they showed us pics of the 8-10 inches of snow that fell just hours after they left.

Thankful for good weather!

We are currently at 23C, that's 73F for you Americans. I'm just loving this because it is rare we get to open windows any time past Thanksgiving weekend! I think I'll go cut the grass yet!

 

[Saricharity]

@*LILAC

What province are you?
It's stunning here today...a glorious 27, sunny and warm. A wonderful day to be outside.
Today I raked up apples...so many apples.
I'm thankful for apples because I made applesauce, apple jam and jelly. I'm done now haha But our tree keeps giving so abundantly and now I have to rake them up and compost them.
So many wasps, hornets and bees around and they are all a tad bit stunned this time of year...my dad used to say they were drunk on apple cider

 

[*LILAC]

In Ontario.

And I did get to cut the grass in barefeet today! So thankful for this heatwave!

HAHAHA I'm so attentive! Sorry about that.

Yes! The weather was so fantastic, I was in my bare feet at school today. My classroom was so terribly warm, I kicked off my shoes and enjoyed myself LOL

 

[Avniel]

I’m thankful for peace

I’m thankful for my children

I’m thankful for my wife

I’m thankful they caught the Hong Kong identity thief before he spent up my money....

I’m thankful I’m far away from the city life

 

[Deidre32]

Thankful that I’m embracing the Bible and not cherry picking through it, like I used to. It’s a beautiful but complicated book that offers wisdom and tough lessons but immense love from a God too anazing to put into words.

Thankful for my husband and all of God’s blessings.
