Well Aged Thanks

[Christian-Samurai]

Well Since there are plenty of topics and things about problems with this and that. I thought why not start a good ol positive post were we can only be thankful for the good things in and about our families. :D So to get it started off, lets see... I am thankful for staying together as a family. Through all our trials and hardships we have still remained a close family.

Sure some of us have moved out of state but we still stay in contact and we see eachother in person almost every weekend at service. I am very thankful for my exstended family as well. My Christian brothers and sisters who continue to support us from all over the world. We maybe a small home church but we have had visitors from Canada, Sinapore, Africa, and just all over here in the USA. It always lifts my spirits to be apart of this great big family. And when I get to meet new believers all the better cause then I know God is blessing me with new brothers and sisters to hang out with lol.

My mom and dad have put up with alot from us kids lol over the years, but they still love us ever so much. They are awesome parents and I thank God for them.

[collegegirl]

I am thankful also for my parents, and for all of the opportunities that the Lord has provided for me. I am also thankful that this year's hurricane season, (not quite over yet) did very little damage where we are at. Last year we got hit twice, and the first time we were without power for about 5 days, and the second about 2 days. All the time, the Lord kept us safe, we had plenty of gas, and a very large generator that we were able to run our fridges and freezers on so we didn't loose any food like so many others did. Of all this, I thank the Lord.

[Christian-Samurai]

Seems no one else has any thanks they wish to share, how very sad to see.

[blessed]

i will like to give God thanks for life spared, for keeping me as a Christian for all these years even when i strayed he was there holding my hand leading me back all becaused he loved me, i am really grateful and thankful for that.

I had a problem with the school that i go to but he worked it out i really have to give God praise and thanks for it because there was no human way that situation would have worked out God had to intervene.

I will also like to thank him for keeping my family safe even though they are not in the message he continues to watch over them and keep them safe and that means a lot to me. Recently the Lord has place a great compassion in my heart for young ppl who are struggling with this message now i no longer get upset when i see them do certain things but i really pray and ask God to help them and give them overcoming power.

i have a lot to give God thanks for will save some for another time :)

[Christian-Samurai]

Thanks blessed :D , See ppl its not that hard, and more thankers?

Heh heh.

I would like to thank the Lord for keeping me for as long as He has. There are many that have fallen away. His keeping grace is so much more than His saving grace. It is hard to be around others and not feel the wrong pull. One o my teachers told me today "eventually, you are going to be who you want to be." I take that as I don't have to be who the others tell me to be, or try to tell me to be. I want to be where I am. I want to be in Christ, and I want to have a passion for Him. I am thankful that He has opened my eyes to see Him. I just want to be able to see Him more. I pray that He will renew my fire for Him.

[Christian-Samurai]

I am thankful for Blessed and Collegegirl, and all the others on the board who share their fellowship with me. :) Being the only family in this city as we are its hard to get that kind of fellowship and I am thankful for your friendship.

I am also claiming the victory of Hui, She means so much to me and I thank the Lord for touching her heart and showing himself to her. Praise the Lord :D and I am going to claim the victory of being able to be with her in person.

[poetanna]

"Give Thanks with a grateful heart..." :musicians

I'm ever so thankful to God for giving me a wonderful mother who has raised me in and around the message, so that I would be spared from having to deal with the pains and craziness of this world. For allowing my mother, to raise 4 children single handedly....and to provide us with all of our needs. God truly is good.

I'm also thankful that God has allowed my family, my siblings, to grow more connected together, to actually be a loving family.

There are so many things to be thankful for I cannot possible list them all. So I will thank God for all those things. :)

[Christian-Samurai]

well no networking isnt that hard but if you are layman and you start messing with it, it can turn into a big mess, so if you get confused easily then I dont want you touching my network, its working just fine thanks lol

[blessed]

Sheesh.....ok mr know everything

[Christian-Samurai]

[collegegirl]

Hey!!! :hey!: I thought that you said you knew everything!!! Check one of the other threads. You said that you knew everything. Get it Straight!!!

[Christian-Samurai]

just testing to see if you were watching heh, its something that a person who already know everything, does to see if others are worthy of knowing everything also ;)

[blessed]

Whattttt!!!!!!!!!!!

[collegegirl]

I have practically reached that stage. Just a few more levels to go...:D

[collegegirl]

I even have the bookmark! :D :thumbup:

[Christian-Samurai]

Sounds like a good plan

[collegegirl]

Well, it seems like I am more on top of things than you are, so there. :D

[Christian-Samurai]

(sorry to interrupt)

I am thankful for ALL OF U!!!! :) :) God knows the rest!

[Babyruth]

I am too!!!! God bless and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blessed]

Someone told me have a mary christmas and a jospeh new year

[vpiper]

was that person Catholic?

[vpiper]

Since that is the reason for this thread I wanted to place something. I'm thankful for my family, all of it. My In-laws and I hit a big bump in the road of life and even though we are still trying to get over it, I now know there is still hope of overcoming it. Thank you. hugs make a big difference, it's hard to yell and scream and be mad during a hug. I have hope for the New year with God's help things are only going to get better

[esther]

was that person Catholic?

i think so...it is so like them to say that :)

[esther]

I am very much thankful that a true and living God has known and chosen me as one of His. He is my satisfying portion in this soo lacking world...

........to be continued [limited time i have now]. :(

[blessed]

was that person Catholic?
nope but i think it was meant to be a joke, not sure things like that i don't even try to understand:D

[vpiper]

yeah I figured it was supose to be joke, the only reason way I said that he must be catholic is because they focus more on Mary and Joseph then anyone else I know, not to bash or anything

[blessed]

it's ok at first i thought it was something catholic too

[collegegirl]

Not to pick on catholics, but it is amazing how little of the Bible that they know of. I know someone that had never heard of most of the Bible stories that I grew up on, like the 5 loaves and 2 fishes, and Fiery Furnace, and Balaam and his donkey, and many others, and they are in their 40's.

[Christian-Samurai]

hahah forget that, its amazing how little they even know about even being a catholic, they just say they are cause its a "cool" and "popular" group to be in, they dont follow really what in their faith they just pick what they want and forget the rest

[blessed]

im not sure catholics are allowed to read the bible, they usually read whatever literature the church gives them which usually does not have the bible teaching

[JoeC]

im not sure catholics are allowed to read the bible, they usually read whatever literature the church gives them which usually does not have the bible teaching

Although some dioceses may encourage the mentality of only listening to the priest, Bible reading (to my understanding) is not prohibited. Restricted reading of the Bible pretty much vanished after English translations came out. Granted, the Catholic church probably remains a non conducive environment for Scripture study - but to say that they are restricted from reading their Bible is simply a myth.

[Christian-Samurai]

Yes I have met many chatholics to have bibles in their homes, so I wouldnt think they are banned, many non religious and denominations read the bible and know every line and word by heart better than the best of us i bet but they dont have a revelation of the words in the book so to them it cant have the same effect SO I suspect that alot of them just get board or lazy about it and just let the preists do most of the talk and reading out of the bible

[NeedGod]

those additional books in the catholic bibles, they baffle me. where are they from. another thing, a non-believer might know the whole bible by heart but the one verse you have with a revelation will benefit you more than all of them will do to him/her

[marichino_freedom]

i grew up catholic, and the only time we ever read our bibles was in class once or twice a week, and it was ALWAYS out of the gospels or new testament..we never cover revalation (at least hardly at all) and the same readings were rotated during church every year....bo-ring!

[NeedGod]

am so sorry you had to stand that. thank God you found the truth.

[blessed]

i know i have said it before but PRAISE GOD that he has reached down and opened our eyes to the truth...i am really happy from the bottom of my heart for this especially for marichino

[marichino_freedom]

thank you....it wasnt that tough of a decision for me to make either....i never fully agreed or like the catholic church...it never made "sense" to me

[NeedGod]

i know what you mean. all that orgamization is so boring. i like it in church when the pastor says something in the message and i just want to get up and dance, i feel so happy. oh look, now i want to dance too :banana: :banana:

[Angelo]

happy birthday to meeeee!!!!!!
:banana:

[NeedGod]

happy birthday bro, again. i think i said that in another post. arent you glad God let you see through another year just to praise Him? happy birthday bro :congrats: :congrats:

[Angelo]

thanks sis.... God bless you....

[NeedGod]

how old are you turning?

[blessed]

uh do ppl still ask those questions :D

[NeedGod]

well, i dont know about people. i do ask. and anyway, he is a guy, he cant mind. ummm, i think

[blessed]

really im not sure...

[vpiper]

hahah forget that, its amazing how little they even know about even being a catholic, they just say they are cause its a "cool" and "popular" group to be in, they dont follow really what in their faith they just pick what they want and forget the rest

people are born catholic, when a catholic couple has a baby it is baptized(sprinkled) and becomes catholic. they(some anyway) don't believe in birth control, so they have lots of babies and you don't have to attend chuirch to call yourself cathic and make your children catholic. yeah it's the same as most people who call themselves christians because they believe there is a God

[NeedGod]

oh, but they dont believe in God because if they did they would obey His Word.

[blessed]

how can they obey if they don't understand ?

[NeedGod]

oh, then in all these dont you simply want to jump up and thank God for His Grace on us? we were unworthy but we got picked and chosen. oh, 'Amazing Grace.....'

[blessed]

Today i just want to say

PRAISE AND THANK YOU JESUS FOR LOVING ME AND

FOR SAVING ME I AM GRATEFUL AND I LOVE YOU SO

MUCH LORD, WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW I FEEL I

JUST LOVE YOU JESUS SO MUCH, IN THIS DIFFICULT

TIME I CAN SEE YOU ARE AT MY SIDE AND I PRAISE YOU AND LOVE YOU EVEN MORE FOR IT :yay:

[NeedGod]

amen blessed. and you know what, He will never leave us nor forsake us! NEVER

[Sara]

AMEN!!!

I agree with you last two sisters... God is sooo good!

:yay:

"You know you make wanna SHOUT!"

(singing it...)

Hahaha, i just had to add that...

:)

[Christian-Samurai]

Thank you Lord for giving to me a life so rich and free :)

[redeemed]

Amen! thank you!

[Megs]

i thank the Lord for godlly parents... and for the hours i have seen them in prayer... they didnt know i saw.. but i did... i wish my brother could see, and understand how real Christ is.. but that is God's department, not mine.

I thank God for 3 wonderful brothers who not only help shape my character (iron sharpening iron) but also are just great guys....

I thank the Lord for a wonderfully diverse body of believers to belong to... it is a great gift
