Ann Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I thought it would be nice to begin a new daily thread where we could post something we're grateful for each day. I know, from experience, there are days we feel as if we really need to dig deep inside to find something that we are grateful for. I thought this would be uplifting for all of us.

Ann Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm grateful that even in the face of illness and death, God has given us the opportunity to become friends and support each other during difficult times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welthy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 ((((Ann)))), What a wonderful idea! Bless you. Tony and I have had conversations about how grateful we are that God saw fit to hold off on his illness until he had retired and our children were grown. We hold those who become ill younger very close in our thoughts, as their diagnoses hurt us deep in our hearts. Welthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtay Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 This is a wonderful site - I appreciate it so much and am very grateful to all those who run it and to those who share their experiences and give us support. I am grateful that I still have my Dad with me - he was given 2 months to live and that was 5 months ago - so I thank God for every extra day that I have with him. I am also grateful that I have a wonderful supportive husband and 3 fabulous kids - I love them all. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raneyf Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm grateful that I've realized the first two goals I set out at diagnosis - I've seen the baby walk and my little boy started kindergarten today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laban Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I am so thankful that God shows me every day that He's right there beside me. Thanks Ann for today's message. The image was just perfect and just the RIGHT TIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 After nearly four years I'm able to face the 13th (date Mike died) with a smile and wonder as each month on this date I get good news. Today was an appointment for the tests to see if an operation is possible to give me back the use of my hands....and remove the pain. Thank you Katie and Rick for this forum, it is part of my life. Love to all Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscherer Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I am thankful, that since my mom was diagnosed, I have learned to truely put things in gods hands. I am thankful I have been blessed to feel the comfort and strength this gives me. This is a great idea! Prayers, Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondermom Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I am thankful that despite the difficult task of having to accept my mom's diagnosis and the fact that I can't change it, I have found a place that welcomes me and comforts me when I need it the most. I am thankful that I have supportive friends and family and that my mom has an incredible support system around her. I am greatful for every day I have with her and every moment my kids get to spend with their Grandma. I am greatful that my kids have learned unconditional love and support and they know the meaning of family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teriw Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I loved reading raneyf's reply! Congratulations on reaching those milestones. I'm grateful for so many things, but right now I'm most grateful for beautiful memories and beautiful people. Today, I'm SO grateful that a technical workmate of Bill's was kind enough to come over tonight and fix my email!!! Whew! And of course, for LCSC and all of you.

RandyW Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 That material things do not matter its what is in the heart that does matter. I learned that lesson years ago after Deb was diagnosed with LC and will never forget it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
