| Posted 11/21/2001 9:53 AM (GMT -6) | | I am away from my family (they are mostly in Wisconsin) so I can't have thanksgiving with them. The other day my friend Mike invited me to eat with his family. That is a blessing     I kind of prayed it also, it is both an answered prayer and a blessing.
Blessings
Paul

| Posted 11/22/2001 9:49 AM (GMT -6) | | 'Round the table we went, each telling our list of three, or four, or five things we were thankful for in particular. Two boys, my wife and I. Most of what was said, and from everyone's lips were sung the thankful gratitudes for family: brothers, spouses, children, parents and grandparents, cousins, uncles and aunts.
ON the table were dishes from Rosalie, candlesticks given by Janet and from grand or great-grandmas, silverware from my wife...who got them from saving greenstamps from the grocery store she would bring our son to in his stroller...packing the basket under it until returning home. But THIS year there was a serving platter of colored plastic, in its Indiana/Ohio Mennonite simplicity, remembering Lena Lea Amstutz Norr, who since Tuesday afternoon is resting in Jesus arms. May her memory be eternal.
At the table, later, pie is served on the "red plates" that Grandma gave my wife. You are invited...if you can find the way. Otherwise join us in a chorus of:
__ "For the beauty of the earth,
__ for the glory of the skies,
__ for the love which from our birth
__ over and around us lies.
__ Christ our Lord to you we raise
__ this, our hymn of grateful praise." | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 11/22/2001 5:46 PM (GMT -6) | | Well, i've got an interesting story that might fall into the category of a "special blessing", or rather more of a special opportunity to bless someone else. Just last week my mom was out in the front yard watering her flowers when she saw the mail lady drive up to deliver the daily mail. Though she had never spoken to our mail lady before, my mom suddenly felt a prompting to bring some of her flowers to the mail lady. Just a couple of days later she recieved a thank you note in the mail from our mail lady. In it she said that she had been struggling over the course of the last week and had been crying every day. She shared that the act of my mom giving her those flowers had moved her and encouraged so much that she was able to get over her struggle and give praise to God.
Thanks and praise be to God for the daily opportunities he presents us with to be a witness for Him.
In His Grip,
Matt

Starkman is Defintely thankful he's not the newbie anymore (my head's still swimming trying to keep up!!!)
Really though, I'm so thankful for a God who has put a certain amount of trust in me to "do the right thing". I'm wanting more and more (after grasping and adhering to the open view) to please Him, to put a smile on His face, to wipe away any tears I can from His eyes by living as wonderfull of a life before Him as I can.
All aspects of my life have just jumped into hyperdrive with respect to awe and gratitude towards and love for God. I'm thankful I have one more chance each day I awake to make every attempt to show Him that I really want to die to self completely, that I don't want ANYTHING to get in the way of His smile, that if the time of testing should ever come, as it did for Peter, I'll not deny him (I'd like to think that Peter would have us all learn from his experience), but that I'll fight the good fight, I'll finish my course, I'll keep the faith. Because when all else is said and done, all that matters is when I enter heaven is that I'm able to say "Lord God, were you pleased? Were you pleased with how I used the precious gift of freedom you gave me? Were you pleased, Lord?
This I am thankful for this year, that I have come to understand and accept the concept of the open view.
In addition I'm thankful for my wife and for her devotion to the Lord also. She's on her way to understanding and going with the open view, too!!!

| Posted 11/24/2001 5:44 PM (GMT -6) | | There are several things for which I can be thankful to God.
First, I left my old school district and He sent me to my dream job.
Second, He has provided me with three marvelous friends and companions (my dogs). The third came at the perfect time, just before our other dog died. I also have some cool people friends too.
In my book, this has been a year of greatness in the God category.

| Posted 12/6/2001 10:33 AM (GMT -6) | | In these hard economic times, I've been out of work. Almost an entire year.
Let me re-phrase that. I want a steady paying regular job. Instead, I'm doing freelance work with unstable work hours or pay.
But through it all, it appears that I might actually have made more money this year, than last year.
All that to say, that I must acknowledge God's loving provision. I have a wife and child to take care of and it turns out, it's really Jesus taking care of us all.
Thank you Lord! Luke 12:22
