I WAS gonna add this 'thankful-for' to my 'thankful-for' from a couple years ago, but I don't think I can comment directly on threads that I started ... oh well; It's good to look at things fresh anyway
I did some thinking about "thanks" and decided that 'all my thanks go to God' (i.e. that I shouldn't tell you what I'm thankful for, because I don't have any extra 'thanks' to give!)
Really, what I'm thankful for is ... that it's OKAY for me to be lazy 'even though' (or is that BECAUSE?) I'm an American, in a state whose (unofficial) motto is "Labor Conquers All Things!"
... really, I'm thankful for the TRUE gift-of-God---which was NOT Jesus Christ Oh, Jesus Christ was just a vehicle for the gift-of-God (which--they say--"is eternal life ... THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord," but the gift-of-God would be 'eternal life' through ANY OTHER SAVIOR God appoints too!) But the TRUE gift is 'the power for me to clean your slate (or for you to clean mine, anyone to clean anyone else's.'
That is; as long as your past actions don't have any future effects, I can greet you- & treat you-as if you're a long-lost brother recently returned!
Me, I'm thankful for ... many things. In summary, for the grace given to me. Specifically--as mentioned in [b][u]Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet...
