I thank God and praise Him for getting me out of religion and into relationship. I thank Him for setting me from alcohol, pot and smoking. He set me free and completely took the desire away almost 9 years ago. People who have known me for a long time in the church cannot believe when I tell them I use to use. They can't see it, because that is not who I am anymore. Praise God, He is so good! I'm thankful for His mercy and grace!

:heart:


Amen

Wow, where do I start! I have so many things to praise God for!

First for being who He is, my father in heaven
Second for sending Jesus to us and the Holy Spirit
I praise Him for where I live, my family,friends, and my fiance.

I even praise Him for giving me fibromyalgia, it allows me to show others that being a Christian doesn't mean we live pain free perfect lives, but that we know where our strength comes from.



Praise the Lord.

Congratulations dear sister.

My outlook?

A heart filled with thanksgiving (and no - I don't mean TURKEY! LOL!) and whether it's via the words of your mouth or your actions - try to consistently practice appreciation...

Tall order, but a good mindset, IMO.

Yep...sometimes hard to do. I went through a VERY atypical couple of months recently where I struggled with this every day.

I completely understand. It can be very hard to do. But, I agree with you that it is the key to happiness.

I'm just a little upset, but blessed about one thing right now. I seem to keep developing a virus on my computer. but at least I know where it came from now, the only site I was on yesterday on that computer. Microsoft is now aware of the problem as well. Maybe it will get fixed! I don't like being the one who seems to be the guy who gets hurt, for something good to come out of it, but If it keeps others from being attacked, it is worth it.

Thank you lord for the people on this site, all of them. They are all your children whether they know it or not. Thank you for the blessings and the hardships. The blessings feel good, and the hardships make the blessings feel even better. Thank you dear lord for my son, watch over him and protect him. Thank you for the ability to share on a world wide forum such as this, without the fear of being crucified for it!

Teach Your Children
by Graham Nash

You, who are on the road
Must have a code
That you can live by.
And so, become yourself
Because the past
Is just a goodbye.

Teach your children well
Their father's hell
Did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks
The one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would die
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.

And you (Can you hear and)
Of tender years (Do you care and)
Can't know the fears (Can you see we)
That your elders grew by (Must be free to)
And so please help (Teach your children)
Them with your youth (You believe and)
They seek the truth (Make a world that)
Before they can die (We can live in)

Teach your parents well
Their children’s hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks
The one you’ll know by.

Don’t you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.

.....NO One that has the

LOVE OF JESUS in their hearts,

is really really really really

really gonna be grateful ,

that some "dude' is going to live

for eternity by himself in fear and

lonliness, for all the harm he caused

to the human race!



NOPE ..... YOU My Friend INSTEAD ,

will be the one ( and not

the "dude" you are referring to here)...

Who Will be the One who ends up

being MISERABLE ...

UNLESS You FORGIVE that person

you are referring to here.

Oh you may think for NOW,

that you will be GRATEFUL if that

dude suffers..

But you won't be.

At least not for long...not if you

are a

Christian.

Cause God won't let ya harbor that

unforgivness in your heart...

in fact,

God will get your attention


until you "deal with

it"(Ouch!!).... laugh

cause God expects His Kids to

get stuff (like unforgivenes) out

of their lives.flowerforyou


So Marty.....

Allow the Love of God to rule and

reign in your heart....

by FORGIVING that person....

and when you do,

God's Love in you will change the

unforgiveness into Love...

even for that one who caused so

much hurt and pain in your life.


When We Forgive

it sets US free......

and also allows

the Love of God to Flow freely

thru an unclogged heart.

God is my rock,my leader,my light in a tunnel of darkness.Every blessing in my life comes from him.With out God I am nothing.He is my father,my best friend,he comforts me when I am sad.He gives me hope when there is none.Anything is possible with God.I would lay down my life for God.

So, you want me to forgive satan? I can't do it and neither can anyone else. God can if he wants. God is the only one who can. But I don't have the authority! I am not God. I don't have the authority to judge either! God is the only one with the authority to stand in judgement of others, no human being. God already stated that satan will be by himself in the end. I don't and you don't have anything to do with it. It is just a fact. By the way, the whole intent of this thread was to give people a place to give thanks and praise. Sorry you were misled, luv ya
