It is pyscologically good to be thankful. God wants us to thank him. It would be good to have a thanking thread!

I am thankful for my gf Whittney, who always challanges me and stretches me to be a better man.

I am thankful for my best guy friend Caleb, thank you for all those lunches, talks, and saturdays at waffle house! Thank you for our brotherhood.

Thank you for all of the mentors I've had, Tim, Edward, Dave, Ragon; please bless them and their families for sharing themselves and their wisdom to me.

Thank you for my parents, for their provision, and for our continually growing relationship.

My husband. 27 years of love and friendship. He truly is my better half.

And my kids. They are great! One is still a teenager, and that can be trying at times, but I thank God above that He gave them to me.

I'm grateful for my husband of more than 20 years, who knows me well and loves me anyway.

I'm so grateful for my daughter who knows God and loves me.

I'm so grateful for the fine family I married into that loves me when my own family of origin rejected me from birth.

I'm so grateful that God would save me.

I am rich.

I am thankful for my many online forum/chat friends I have made over the years. I owe my life and emotional restoration to those many friends.

I am super close with my family - my mom, dad, sister, aunts, cousin. I'm really thankful for that. I have other friends too that are becoming closer to me over time. I'm really thankful for that as well. I am truly blessed.

I am thankful that I have a fantastic Husband who treats me with respect, love and as an equal.

I am thankful that I have married into a family that are caring, thoughtful and loving when my own family are so chaotic and dysfunctional.

I am thankful that I have a fantastic network of friends around the world who have been for me through thick and thin.

I am thankful for my church friends esp my home group who have helped me in so many ways.

I am thankful to God for taking on a sinner like me and loving me without judgement or condemnation.

Many Thanks, Elena.

With God's patience and guidance, I look within and that's where most of my disappointments and failures are in residence. I have so much work to do...

I agree with Belle. I'm thankful for all my relationships past and current and future - good or not so good. The relationship with my ExHusband taught me a lot about myself, gave me a strength I didn't know I had and 2 beautiful kids and through DS1 2 wonderful grandkids. I couldn't possibly not be thankful, even though it "wasn't satisfying" to use Belle's line .

Other less than good relationships taught me other things I needed to know.

My Mom and Dad for loving me and teaching me how to love.

My kids for turning out Ok in spite of me .

My friends for the support I sometimes need, the laughs I sometimes need and the "Gibbs smack" I sometimes need- they are willing to give me each one of those and seem to know just when I need which one.

My CW friends that know me even though they don't know me...

My Father in heaven for making me feel so safe and for talking to me and listening to me, and for never condemning me.

I am so grateful and thankful for my developing relationships with first and foremost, the almighty GOD and my NEPHEWS and NIECE (It's so awesome to visit them and not only acknowledge you but think you're the cool Aunt )
