Thanksgiving week 2013: What are you thankful for?

RaydaKub · Nov 25, 2013

I'll start.
I was laid off from a large Blue computer company in July after over 29 years of service. I've now been employed by a large hard drive company for 2 1/2 months. I'm tremendously thankful to have bounced well.

I'm thankful for my wife of 25 years. I'm thankful to see how both of my kids are developing into wonderful young adults. My wallet is thankful this is the last year of 2 tuition payments.

I'm thankful for material wealth I have been blessed with.

I'm thankful that when my days on this earth are over, I have a place prepared for me with no more sickness, sadness, or loss through my Savior.

And let's not forget all of you out there, the best friends I've never met, fellow TBNers. And my tractor of course; this is a tractor forum after all. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Great thread. I'm thankful for my wife of 9 years and the good health we both have. Thankful to have a good job even though the company is going through some tough times. And thankful for a family that is healthy and gets along together great. When I really think about it there are so many things I am thankful for but just take for granted. We are truly blessed in this country.

I'm thankful for an incredible wife (she checks my posts) and a left arm that "might" work in 2014/15. The dogs are great, the loving/arguing family ain't too bad either...at a great distance. The ole' truck and car aren't too bad. Those damnnn birds that keep eating the sunflower seeds that I keep fillin' the feeders with aren't exactly horrible...I'm sure I've got a few more if I can just think for awhile.

I'm a pretty happy/thankful camper.

Good health for me and my wife
My wife of 36 years for continuing to put up with me.
My three sons.
A warm home and food on the table year round
A good job that i complain about too much.
Being fortunate enough to begin planning retirement years with my wife.
Being able to help others who haven't been as fortunate as us.

It's so easy to be thankful for the material things but in the end the happiness they bring us fleeting- tractors break, things get replaced, etc.. It's those things we can't put a price on that bring me true happiness- my family, a beautiful sunrise, snow covered grounds, daffodils in the spring. All these are gifts from the man upstairs. I catch myself leaving Him out too many times in my life. I'm so thankful that the joys of this life will pale in comparison to what lies ahead. Hope they are there for all of my fellow TBN'ers. Happy Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for two God-fearing and loving parents. My father recently passed at 91. He was a good man.

I am thankful my late wife of 21 years, who passed in 2002, has been healed by Jesus and is now waiting in her Heavenly home.

I am thankful the Lord has brought another of His perfect creations into my life and that we recently celebrated our 1st anniversary.

I am thankful to have been born in the United States, having enjoyed a blessed life, in a world otherwise overrun with evil and suffering.

I am thankful my daughter is old enough to be able to remember the liberty and freedom that existed in her youth, as it will surely have been extinguished by the time she reaches my age.

As I think about the member of TBN, I believe this will be a really long thread.

I am thankful for my wife of 28 years. Our relationship is better than ever. I have 2 wonderful daughters, one grandson, and one new son-in-law as of this past Saturday

As I go through my day, I thank the Lord for the little things that he helps me with every day. Like when I drop my cell phone, and catch it before it hits the puddle of water.

I could go on and on.....Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

I'm also thankful for all the servicemen out there that won't get to be home with their families on thanksgiving. Without them we wouldn't enjoy all the freedom we have.
