There are so many things in my life that I am thankful for. Everyday, that I wake up, I always thank God for taking care of us on the night that passed and on the day that will be spending.I thank him that as a family, we are happy and complete. I thank him that I finished successfully my studies in college and my board examination. Well, if I enumerate all the things that makes me thankful for, I think that my fingers will be so tired afterwards.

As of now, I am so thankful with our Creator for listening to my prayers. I am always asking him to give me an opportunity to work as a teacher and He gave it to me yesterday. I am so happy that finally I got hired. I am also very thankful for him because He give qualities that became my asset like my healthy condition and intelligence.He also takes care of my boyfriend who was on his trip to other place last week. I am very glad yesterday,that after a week without here, he finally came online to chat with me.He came back safe and in good condition.I can say that my boyfriend is one of the greatest treasure I have. How about you? What are you thankful for? Have a nice day to all and Happy mylotting!

First and foremost, im thankful with my life, for the people who loves me and for the experiences i've been through either good or bad. Also for all the blessing He showered upon me. Everytime i wake up, i always thank God for another day to live my life. Despite the many circumstances i experience, im still thankful for the chances that is given to me. though sometimes i find it hard to see hope in a hopeless situation, i'm still very positive that ill overcome it. We only pass in this world once, so lets live our life to the fullest.

Hello annierose! Congratulations! I am happy for you. Finally, you got hired. I know you work hard with it and I know you really deserve it. I know how someone tried to pull you down but because God is with you, the goodness still wins. Don't worry about your boyfriend. I know "Bro" loves him and will take care of him. I am thankful for everything that God has given to me. I know I am nothing without Him.

I have mentioned on him that I did it on the demonstration teaching and he is really very happy that he said that after 2 month he will start the countdown for 2 years because I told him to wait for 2 years

For the past days, I've been totally stressed out with all my work and family life.. It's my Daughter's third Birthday last week, so I have to prepare something for her... My son who is eleven months old is having a measles by that time also, It was totally frustrating when my husband was diagnosed with Pneumonia by weekend.. I feel bad and down at that very moment but, when I looked up, I realized that things are not that really bad at all, this are temporary trials that GOD is giving me to strengthen my FAITH ON HIM.. At this very day, ALL is well with my Family and I am thankful for GOD always.

For my life, for what and who I am now, for my family, for my job, for the many graces He showered on me....I am very thankful to God. And even if i do thank Him every minute of every day, still i cannot fathom His goodness and mercy for me, to all of us. At most, i thank the Lord for giving me, a true,real man who love me as me. For accepting my past, and willing to be part of my life even if i dont live in a nice world.

I'm thankful for so many things , it's hard to know where to start . I guess first I'm thankful to be alive ! I'm also thankful I have alot of love in my life . I'm thankful I can take care of myself and others . Thankful of the roof over my head and food , and very thankful for my health. I'm thankful that I am where I am in life and that I'm very happy. I'm also thankful for the internet, so I can keep in touch with the rest of the world. Thanks for bringing this discussion up . Sometimes we forget to look at all the blessings we have each day . I'm sitting here thinking of all I have to be thankful for and it brings a smile to my face ..

I have a lot to be thankful for too. I thank God every day for my little girl because she is the baby I thought I was never going to have; she took a long time to get to us. I am also thankful for our home and the nice things we have and most importantly I am grateful for our health and the love we have for one another. Sarah Breathnack created a wonderful book called “Simple Abundance Journal Of Gratitude”. The idea is at the end of each day to list 5 things that you are grateful for. It is a life changing exercise to do this. It will help you to focus on all the positive things in your life and to say Thank You is one of the most powerful prayers. It will also teach you to appreciate the people in your life.

I am very thankful every day for a roof over me and my babies head. For being able to wake up in the am, for being able to provide for my kids. The past couple of days I have been depressed trying to find a car, place to live, and a house all at the same time. I did get a little discouraged and then God lead me to Mylot and I have been typing my heart out. I am thankful for alot of things in my life but there isn't enough space to write everything. I am thankful for my family that helps me as I am a single mother. I am thankful to have the ability to get up everyday and nev'r stop trying. I am thankful for speech, vision and all the other senses that I have that I'm able to use. The point is be thankful for the little things in life and don't take them for granted as some people don't have these things to be thankful for. Nothing is to small to be thankful for and focus on what you do have and not what you don't have. Work with what you have to get what you want or die trying.

hi effusive, I really appreciate your response. This is such a great contribution to the topic.I guess, many of us focus on what we don't have and not on what we have. That is why some people got depressed. But if we stop and think of our asset, good things in other people and around us, then there is no reason to get sad.

I am thankful for all the opportunities I've ever been given in life. I'm glad that I've had the chance to take my education to degree level I'm glad I have a great job, and exciting prospects to look forward to as my career progresses I'm thankful for my lovely boyfriend, for the 6 yrs we've shared together and the many more to come I'm thankful for our hopes and dreams, and thankful to god for making each one come true one day at a time I'm thankful for everyday that I wake up and know I can be anything I want to be just so long as I try hard and want it enough. I'm thankful for all these things and so much more. I'm planning on LIVING until I die!

I should thank my parents for their giving birth to me and so that I can realize what I have realized.I should thank my friends for their supporting to me all the time.I should thank my teachers for their advices.I should thank my books that they bring a lot of knowledge and wisdom.I should thank my successes that they give me the courage.I should thank my fails that they force me to watch things carefully in time.I should thank all the things that are related to me for showing others my exist and who am I...When we are tapped in troubles,think of our thanks and then you will find that all things is not that bad and you are not alone and still have chance to achieve what you want. And at last,thank myself who is the first one I should be thankful to that she will accompany me for a lifetime.
