What are you thankful for??

[marine005]

That i have made this far in life.

 

[plumsink]

I had a feeling as a child, maybe it was even before that, maybe I was born with it. This feeling was that life was magical, that life was BIG, that we weren't meant to drudge through life with eyes half closed but that it was all somehow... epic. Bigger than big.

When I got older, that was only a dream in the very corner of my mind's eye. Maybe I didn't acknowledge it consciously, but it was there nevertheless, like a fragment of Eden stuck in my head. Very far away. I was an atheist, I didn't believe in such things anymore.

When I first turned to Christ, I had a lot of trouble with it and fell away. After my heart attack, I came back to God. And I got at least a bit of that old dream back, the idea that life is secretly bigger than any of us know, bigger than shopping lists and mortgage payments and carpools and the minutia of the everyday. I got a bit of the primordial dream back, I got my shard of paradise back. And I just want to thank God for that.

That is truly awesome and so true!


I also got awoken from death.

I See

I see the Chosen
the dust of the earth
......Awaiting.....
the great awakening
......Awaiting.....
A New Beginning
We all died to the old.

I look up in hope
relief at last
no pain will remain
after birthing is done
The hurt lies in the past
now only awaiting time
to stop bleeding.

I hear God's children rejoicing
The great throng praising,
What Joy is ours?
Life everlasting
doesn't die again
not now..
..or ever!

I see Holy, Holy, Holy
Worthy of all adoration
Numbered existence gone.
Forever praising
The Lamb
for what He's done
for ALL of us.

Amen.

I'm thankful for a new year, to have a chance to make this one better than the last.

I'm thankful for a new day, to wipe away yesterday when it's been rough and to remember when it's been good.

I'm thankful for my friends and family here, who help to make my life a better one.

I'm thankful for the shed blood of Jesus for my sins; the only means by which I am saved from a horrible eternity.

Bumping this thread back to the top because I think it is important.

I'm grateful that the evenings are slowly lengthening back out. The 4:30 sunsets of December are very depressing to me.

I'm grateful for the roof over my head and food in my stomach.

I'm grateful for the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

[Jeshu]

I so grateful that God has protecting me from the wicked and set me free from their evil voices.

The last 6 months have so quiet compared to how it used to be that I'm still not used to the peace dwelling in my head.


All praise to Jesus
