[OT] I am thankful for...

[Mark Chance]

We plow the fields and scatter the good seed on the land..
But it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand..
He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain...
The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain...

All good gifts around us
Are sent from Heaven above
So thank the Lord, oh thank the Lord for all his love...

We thank thee then, O Father, for all things bright and good,
The seedtime and the harvest, our life, our health, our food,
No gifts have we to offer for all thy love imparts
But that which thou desirest, our humble thankful hearts!

All good gifts around us
Are sent from Heaven above..
So thank the Lord, oh thank the Lord for all his love..

I really wanna thank you Lord!

Go Shiv go!

As for me, I am thankful for...

... wonderful wife, great family.

... job that I love.

... super friends (not the Saturday morning cartoon kind, although that would be cool too).

... health, gaming, living in America at the dawn of the 21st century like alsih2o said, pets, Wolverine football, and a pretty darn good life so far!

1. My wife and best friend and the relationship we have.

2. My kids

3. The health of the above
3a. The fact that the daughter born this year, who initial tests said had Down syndrome, appears to be gifted and ahead of the development curve instead.

4. My faith in Christ. (My list. It doesn't have to be on yours.)

5. That money has always shown up, somehow (see #4 for my thoughts on this), to cover all the bills in the last 11 months.

6. Being laid off last year. Seriously -- I've made a lot of changes over the last year, and I can't think of any that aren't positive.
6a. The economy starting to roll again, and me getting more job interviews. I don't think I can handle much more intense character building for a while.

7. Gaming and the people with whom I do it.

I could quote some of the above and just leave it at that....Kids, wife, job, my faith, and a hobby to share with my friends. I am a rich man.

[Wombat]

My friends (including my long-suffering gaming buddies )

My family

My thousands of books

My chances to visit these boards

And the fact that I can get a really good cup of tea when I want it

The 14 years I've lived since overcoming cancer, and all that's come with it (except Iron Crown).

 

[John Crichton]

Hmmm, so many things. Have to say, my job and family right now.

Oh yeah, and my giant army of ill-tempered sharks with frickin' laserbeams attached to their heads.

 

[Golem Joe]

I am thankful...

for my health and that of my family.
for my job.
that I am blessed to live in America.
that I am doubly-blessed to live in Texas.
that there are people willing to fight and die to ensure my freedom.
that I can afford to take the weekend off.
