A few of the things I am thankful for today:
1. Salvation and the Bible. Without them I would have no hope.
2. Family and home. Especially my husband, children and grandchildren who have stood by my side and loved me like nobody else can.
3. Church family and Christian friends. People to worship with and share with.
4. A quiet place to live. We've been blessed with a life in the country.
5. Freedom to go and come as I please. Not having to get a permit to go to church or to hold a meeting.
6. Family who will stand by my side and believe in me when others are trying to tear me down. It's eye-opening when you see people for who they really are. I've sure had my eyes opened wide during the past couple of weeks.
7. Another unexpected treasure found this week that belonged to my Mama who passed away almost 40 years ago. A beautiful piece of green pottery. (see picture)
8. Christian friends that I have met in the blogging community. How could I have known when I started blogging that I would gain such supportive, loving, sisters-in-Christ through this media?
I have been blessed so much and in return need to be thankful for much!
"For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God." 2 Corinthians 4: 15
May every day be Thanksgiving in the lives of each of us!

What a treasure. Not only because it is beautiful but because it was your Mother's and you got it after all these years. You are a treasure to God. Doesn't He bless us in the sweetest ways. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to tear you down - I pray their eyes will be opened and they will repent from their ways. They most certainly are mistaken and misguided. God bless you, Marilyn. Keep on doing what you are doing, Satan must be upset with you. That is good. Love you, Martha
Marilyn,
You are so right we should be thankful everyday for all that God has done for us....as one of our friends says to me when I ask how are you doing, he says better than I deserve....that is so true ... Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, its my favorite time of year, good food, good friends and family and good fellowship..

I am blessed with many of the same things. The most important thing is the bible because without it my life would not be what it is today.

A quiet life... I like that Marilyn. I also like the hidden discovery that, undoubtedly, has touched your soul in a special way. Keep watching for God's surprises. They're all around us. Praying he sends some special love your way this week.
