HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Where would we be as humans without our common experiences?To a new friend of mine who will know himself when he sees the following verse – the only verse, so far, I prefer in the ultramodern translation that I have used here:
1st Peter 5:7 - So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you, he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God, because he is most careful with you
Most of all to my mother and father, whose constant prayers built about me a cover of protection that kept me alive and who, to my sheer amazement and to God’s glory, never lost faith in God’s plan for one minute — even through ten years of utter silence, completely unaware whether I was dead or alive or where I was or if they would ever see me again. If I am alive today, it is because of the intercession of these two most sincere believers.

Happy Thanksgiving to you! Blessings, Kim
Happy Thanksgiving Susan! I am thankful for you.
I have just come from reading your son's blog and I am holding back the tears. My story is very like his as to what God saved me from.
I was especially touched by what he said about his father when he said what he learned about some Christians and that his father was none of those things.
I am just praising God for what He has done!
May God richly bless your day!
What a great day! I will certainly be thinking of you and your family as I sit at the table with mine. What a day to rejoice in answered prayers, and a prodigal coming home! Now, we've got to change his name from prodigal to heir. ;)
Enjoy your day and your family.
Thankful with you dear friend. It's so good to know God never lets us go... He hears our prayers and works in hearts...
susan, i'm thankful for you, too.
wishing you and your family a very happy thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Yours!!

We do not celebrate thanksgiving in Scotland but as I was reading your son's blog and yours (as always) I want to thank God for a praying mom like you who were hanging onto God's robes for your son. Carin

Dear Susan,
I am just dropping by tonight to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving, dear Susan! I am sure you are having a wonderful time with your beloved family and especially with your son!
Yours, Anita
P.S.: What a pity, Thanksgiving as you celebrate it in the US is totally unknown here in Germany.
Thank you for your prayers for Carolyn.
Hope your day has been peaceful and full of all those things that make you thankful!
