Thank God for???????????

Life and all that comes with it
I can say that I don't think I've ever said "If I could change one thing in my life I wish (fill in the blank) had been differnt." I know that my life wouldn't be where it is now if anything had been different. I thank God for making me realize that the grass on the other side of the fence may LOOK greener but that it is only that way from where I'm standing. Green comes in many shades and all are good.

I Thank God
for giving me for giving me the wisdom to realize that everything that happens in my life is for a reason. This experience with cancer has made me realize how wonderful my life has really been. I have a beautiful and patient family and friends that have been wonderful through all of what I have been experiencing. I don't worry about silly things anymore and I find I try not to complain as much about things that don't really matter. I do get angry at myself that it took this disease to make me realize what a wonderful life I do have and I wiil again! I want to thank all of you for sharing your experiences that helps me get through my day. Bless you all and hugs, Diane

This is wonderful!
I'm thankful for being given strength I never knew I had. I'm trying to not take everything so serious! I'm grateful for all I have - and I have so very much - great family, caring friends, a job I love - and all of you, new friends now, that I grow to love more and more everyday! LIFE IS SO VERY GOOD!

I am thankful everyday for
I am thankful everyday for family and friends who bolster me through what has not been an easy chemo run. My husband who loves me despite how bald. flat or sick I am. He is pushing me onward. I am thankful i have the medical insurance to make choices and to pay for this treatment which is astronmical. I love the fact that I can laugh at he most stupid things with my friends. I appreciate all you women who are feeling not so perfect but take the time to share your journeys and respond, to empathize and even to perhaps bring back memories that you may not want to revisit to help your fellow sisters in this fight. I know that
god is helping me and my work is saving my job. I have found how wonderful my friends are in big and small ways, and I have learned to appreciate the small things in life again,

For all the Angels
Over the past 3 months, I have been sent many angels to help me with my Mom's cancer. Family, friends, nurses, receptionist, and complete strangers who have appeared at just the precise moment that I needed a kind word or deed. The lady in the grocery store who let me go ahead of her or the man at the coffee shop in the hospital, who asked if I was OK.

Also all you, who help give me answers and direction when I am confused and overwelhmed with Mom's care.

Love to All
Linda

I don't agree with this post
I am a good christian but I do not agree with ramming christianity down peoples throats..............There are people in here who worship other Gods.. There are people in here who worship nothing... is it right to make them feel like lesser beings because of the way they think?
How would us good christians feel If a muslim came in here telling us how to pray?
I really think that God should be left out of our discussions.......IF we don't blame Him for our illness...........We can't expect Him to protect us from it..........Come on people..............Get real!
I'm sorry for the explosive text I just get really pissed off with people ramming the God Squad advice down my throat!
There are other religions out here.........Live it........... Going to church on a sunday doesn't cut it..............

Confusion
I am a Christian but in the midst of a crisis of faith. In fact, I always feel like there's some club out there that I can't get in. When you ask me what I'm thankful for, I'm at a loss. I know I'm happy that I have my children and this beautiful day, but I guess I'm confused as to God's role in my life. I've got cancer and I'm terrified.

Tasha, I guess we should let people post about God and maybe if we don't agree, that's one discussion we could skip. Not sure where to go here . . .

Linda I hope that cancer showing in your life has not caused your crisis of faith. There is a blog here you may find interesting it is entitled Spirituality, Prayer, and Meditation. A lot of interesting topics are discussed there. Just click on discussion boards and you will find it near the bottom.

Yeah . . .
I never really had a deep connection to God, and after surviving domestic violence only to be hit with BC and then BC AGAIN, that connection is thread-thin. I will definitely visit the Spirituality board. Thanks for the advice.

Peace,
Linda
