Thanksgiving 2018 Prayer Thread [View all]

Thank you Lord...

...for my beautiful and loving wife;
...for all of the people in my life who love me- all of my friends and family;
...for a beautiful and loving cat;
...for a nice home;
...for a nice car;
...for a good job;
...for good health;
...for enough to eat;
...for enough clothes;
...for enough money.

I say that prayer before every time I meditate, and I try to meditate at least once a day. I don't always get a session in, but I'm getting better about it. I find that expressing gratitude is a good way to help open the heart, and it makes areas of my life that I don't feel as good about seem more manageable and tolerable. It also makes it more possible to do something about those things. But as you can see, I've got a lot going for me and I am truly blessed in several regards.

And now thank you God for all of the good people here at DU. I've been here for over 15 years and this place has been a great place for friendship, entertainment, and comradery. I have met several of you in real life over the years, and I know the kindness that is expressed here is for real. God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving.
