    This year I am MOST thankful for the love of Jesus Christ - for his GRACE & LOVE. I have had some family members die and I KNOW that one day we will all be reunited in Christ again, as He promised us. Wishing you & yours a lovely Thanksgiving! I'd LOVE to read some more of your books, the last one being Blood Ransom. AND, it was interesting and great - sure did open MY eyes to how evil some can be.

I was on the table for over 10 hours.I am not able to get around my daughter takes care of me and when she is at work my granddaughter take care of me i can't get around so i can't take care of myself so i am very thankful that she and my granddaughter take care of me. We had a fire in the three unit apartment house, the one on the end caught fire. I just thank GOD, the sheriff, the firemen and the EMT, helped us. The sheriff help get me out of the building and across the street then went back to help my granddaughter get the dogs out. The EMT had to treat me for the smoke. So i have a lot to be thankful for.

  19. This year I am thankful for the little boy we adopted from Ukraine in March. He has been through so much already, and we have another surgery next week for him, but through it all, he is amazingly filled with joy and spunk! God has been so gracious to us, holding our hands every step of the way - through the easy parts and through the very difficult parts. This year has been filled with great joy and very difficult things and God has been with us in all of it. We look forward to moving to South Africa to serve missionaries next year and know that God will be in all the joy and the hard that will bring as well. julie.L.vanheerden@gmail.com, CA.

    I am thankful that we have the hope of Heaven when our loved ones die. I lost my Grandma in May, but she left a great testimony. Although I do miss her very much! I'm also thankful that I got to do an internship this summer in Washington, DC and that God has helped me through my next to last semester of my undergrad degree (only 20 days to go!).

  37. I am thankful for this time of year and how it brings friends and families together. A lot of us get so wrapped up in life that we lose ambition to pursue deeper relationships with those around us. I just love how this time of year provides opportunities to change that. So many other things to be thankful for, but I'll just leave it at friends and family. :) Oregon chariiskee23@yahoo.com
