    *in a sing-song voice- I got the joy joy joy ....*

    1. A God who faithfully pursues my heart, and did so much to restore my relationship with him.
    2. Wonderful godly men who've helped me along this journey.
    3. My biological family, who lovingly supported me even as I adopted myself into another family to get the things they couldn't provide.
    4. Friends, both those who know and those who don't, who God has allowed to shape my life, and teach me so much about his character, and how to shine his love to the world around me.
    5. The fact that God always knows what he's doing, and isn't taken by surprise by things we consider crises.

    1. Forgiveness
    2. When I have a blah day, the joy of the Lord is my strength
    3. My sweet dog, Jake.
    4. Wonderful loving parents, sisters, and lovely nieces and nephews
    5. Answered prayers- Family restoration! ::Woohoo::

    * I must add that I'm so grateful for coffee

    I'm grateful that I'm not in charge or control and that HE IS! He is faithrul, true, merciful, the beginning and the end . . . I could go on and on about Who He is, and He loves ME! Yay God!
  • Randy · 1 year ago
    Great! What else are you grateful for?
  • editorgal · 1 year ago
    Faithful friends (ones I've met face-to face and those I know only in cyberspace); hubby and son; mountains; pets; wildlife (very entertaining for me every day); my life . . . oh, and live music and books. Wait, don't get me started! I'll stop now for your sake!

    Nope... this is a war against whining... if you feel a Tsunami of gratitude ... go for it.

    My list of 5 would be:

    I'm grateful for friends who put up with me all the time.
    For BBC Comedy Shows
    For my parents
    For soap
    That God's love is unconditional in spite of my constant wavering. :)
  • Randy · 1 year ago
    love the list ... and soap :)
  • Jonathan · 1 year ago
    Soap! Woot! And indoor-plumbing!
  • editorgal · 1 year ago
    Oh yes, me, too! Soap; indoor-plumbing; air-conditioning and heating; grocery stores (oooh, gardening is so not my thing . . . or canning!); Monty Python's Flying Circus; George and Gracie (love that show!); for fall weather, knowing winter is coming; for the freedom to read and share the Bible; for freedom ... true libertyl; for friends who love me enough to tell me hard truths about myself even when they know I won't like it; truly, I am blessed in so many ways and today I'm thankful for each and every way . . . facing diabolical stuff here at the office and praying my way through ... remembering His mercy and goodness and thanking Him for it all. He is able.
