"I'm especially thankful that my nephew went through the first surgery with flying colors."

So very happy to read this. Continued prayers for your nephew

A great presentation to draw our focus to what we sometimes take for granted when we should be offering thanksgiving to the One who provides.

Arriving late allows me the opportunity eavesdrop on some posts and thereby nudge my memory of Thanksgivings past, first as a child, then an adolescent. Next comes Thanksgiving dinners - US Navy style, followed by beginning traditions with our own family. The cycle never ends. As a child, it meant Thanksgiving dinner with grandparents, aunts, Mom and Dad and siblings gathered around the big oak dining room table with the littleones seated in the childrens section. Family nests began to grow smaller, parents became grandparents. Some moved to new locations to start their own traditions, but it is always a time for family to gather together. How lucky mrsdd and I are to experience those family get-togethers multiple time throughout the year. Closing, giving thanks for family, friends, our troops, country and a loving God who gave us His Son.

Amen, Diver Dave. Thanksgiving brings wonderful memories, and is a great American tradition, thanks be to God for this great land, and ...

Reading your list it is striking how easily we forget the things that as Americans we have to be grateful for.

P.S. I am grateful for good looking, conservative Godly masculine men too!

Hey!,what about the rest of us.</shamelessly searching for a compliment>

I will add as a guy,one of Gods greatest gift to men is a fine looking lady who is as beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.

That is an awesome list.

FReeper 'SoldiersPrayingMom' has a son serving in OIF, and he is FReeper 'jmpmstr4u2.'

Also, 'WakeUpandVote' has a brother serving in OIF,
and 'Skyraider' has a son serving in OIF.

'CMS' just became active duty.

This thread is gorgeous, really like that extra gold table on the left and the pretty gold divider plus the sparkles you added to the leaves. Lots of nice touches to this one.

Pippin your thoughts have such clarity and are so honest, another great effort on your part.

Am thankful to God for America's many blessings and that I have had the good fortune to live in America my whole life and the VERY good fortune to live in a VERY red State. :)

Hi, there, La Enchiladita! Love your graphic. Thank you for joining us today, and sharing your thanks.

[Billie]

Thank you for the additions to our Military Prayer List - and thanks for addressing your post to all of us. I'll send an FR mail to the others in case they miss this thread, and those names should be on the next list you see. I believe dutchess is doing tomorrow's. :)

Thank you so much, Sistah A! Pippin's thoughts are always sweet, sincere - not hard to see they come straight from her heart.

[La Enchiladita]

I'm wondering where have I been that I missed this wonderful thread. FR is a big place! LOL.

It is certain I will have more names for you to add...

Beautiful Thread Billie.

Good news.... Matthew (my 21 year old nephew) had his second surgery today. They got most of the blood clot out "above the knee". Still some below but think they can deal with that with bloodthinners. (he was hit by a car last weekend) If all go's well he leaves ICU tonight but still will be in the hospital until Saturday or Sunday. He was planning on doing a college "exchange" in New Zealand starting January and I'm sure that will be put on hold. Just thrilled that he seems on the road to recovery. Life is indeed fragile. Have appreciated all your thoughts and prayers.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Great news.

I am sorry I missed your initial post about this.

Prayers send for your nephews full recovery.
