1. Thanksgiving was yesterday. But I am thankful for my many blessings. Deserving of none.

2. As I read your blog and the comments of those who do so, I’m wondering were is everyone else? The same few people seem to be the only ones who comment. Shame on the rest of us, and I put myself at the top of that list and I feel pretty bad about it. You ask out of everything what’s the one thing I am most thankful for. Hands down it has to be…….My Jesus is with me through all things. His love for me is the most wonderful, sweet, gentle, strong and securing thing in my life. This by no means reduces everything else in my life God has blessed me with, all of which I am totally not deserving of. I also must say thank you to my Church. My family and I have never been through what we have been and still are going through before. Having said that, it amazes me at what wonderful love we have received from our brothers and sisters in Christ. I know without a doubt my little Erin would not be as far along with her recovery as she is, not to mention her having pulled through her brain surgery and not being with me at all. Without you all and many others praying for her and us I am really not sure we all could have made to this point, which is very good. What a year this has been. God’s kingdom is better for it all, at least for a humble believer that at one point in June had nothing holding me to the end of my rope say for power and love of God and His righteous kingdom. So I’m thankful, more than anyone I know. Lord Jesus, thank you for your sweet tender love that saved a wretched unworthy person like me, I deserve you least of all.

   Thank you Lord, Amen

   Thank you Pastor & all of Northwood,

3. Wow. So much to be thankful for! First, Salvation. I am so unworthy yet he tells me I am an heir to his kingdom and for His word that comforts and reassures me that “it’s all right, I (God) am in control!”
   I am thankful for the peace that passing all understanding! God’s peace and perspective. Things that would have absolutely devastated me a couple of years ago are now “like water off a ducks back” (my mom used that saying alot when I was being picked on as a child). I am also thankful for such a wonderful church family who support us and give testimony to how God has helped them through similar circumstances and it is amazing to watch God at work at Northwood.
   I am so thankful that with the passing of Lee’s dad this year, the love and prayers of our Northwood family covered us like a warm blanket.
   I can remember trying to put that feeling into words while fighting back overwhelming emotion as I wrote our thank you note to our dear loving church family. I envisioned how it felt to be so loved and comforted and a warm blanket, like a security blanket, came to mind. That, my dear friends, is God working through each and everyone of us when we comfort others. An extension of God’s loving embrace-through us!
   I have so much to be thankful for, a job, my wonderful husband, children, a warm home, (too much) food, and a wonderful opportunity to serve my awesome God anyway that I can. Thank you for allowing me to do so at Northwood!
   Hope this makes sense.
