Oh my, Prime Director! Another story to slap us back into reality! What a miraculous story with an equally miraculous ending! Thank you! And, yes, as always, Thank God for His Mercy…wow, what an experience…give your dad a bunch more hugs from all of us, too!

My father had a catastrophic heart attack on October 16, dropping dead right before my eyes.

He received treatment within the “golden hour,” and the paramedics, nurses and doctors were able to bring him back, with all his faculties intact. The doctors are amazed he lived. They called the event an “aborted death.”

Pop’s in the kitchen right now, baking a ham.

My cup runneth over. Thank you God for hearing my family’s prayers.

May God bless you all.

An easy, delicious dessert. One Graham cracker crust. Beat one softened package of cream cheese with a whole can of condensed milk. Add in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of lemon juice (according to personal taste). Put in fridge. Devour a little later with gusto!

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
I don’t have memories to share, being born in England, it was not a day we celebrated, but when I came to live here and had my children, it quickly became my favorite holiday. I get a lot of pleasure creating memories for my children and now two of them are at college, so it’s even more precious to me. This year is especially poignant as a good friend has had numerous treatments for brain cancer and the last treatment has left her blind and bed-ridden. She has three children, all teens, when I see her face light up when she hears them come into the room, it breaks me up. So yes, I agree, stop before you gripe. We have all much to be thankful for.
God Bless All.

giving thanks…

I’ve been taking in some scripture today about Thanking God, and reviewing some of the history behind the celebration of Thanksgiving. For us Christians, every day should be a day of Thanksgiving. God bless you all today, and every day, as this…

To my fellow Soldiers still deployed, Happy Thanksgiving; you’re in my thoughts. I’ve been there, too.
For my fellow Soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice, this day of thanks and remembrance is especially for them.

Thank’s Michelle, I was getting ready to cook TG dinner and was kind of dreading it, it’s alot of work and I really have’nt been looking forward to it, I said well I’ll go to MM website and see what’s up.

I’ve seen this story before and read stop before you gripe entry, now I feel like a heel. There are so many things to be thankful for it’s obscene and I was sitting here dreading the work. I am ashamed of myself. I’m the one alway’s telling my kid’s “When you think you’ve got it bad, look around, someone has it worse than you.”
Now I’m going to go cook our TG dinner and have fun doing it, My problem’s are microscopic compared to this family and I’m sure many others.

Thank’s again and everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving.
