Hi Gloria and everyone! Gloria-Thankyou for your wonderful email!

Happy almost Thanksgiving , though I guess it can be thanksgiving every day!

and Oh my goodness! Bev, it is so good to "see" you! I loved reading your thoughts and agree about the cold-I figured I have to just hybernate in the hot summers and too cold winters, though I love the snow! Your family sounds wonderful and I am always so happy about that. I just told my son the other day the way you would pray-"Thankyou God for the (fill in the blank, though yours was a wonderful husband!) that you have already planned for me" Did I get that right?

I have had so many miracles in my and my children's and family's lives these past 2 years, I think we all just want to say every day-"God, you are amazing!" And "I love you God!"

WE just had a beautiful celebration with most of my family- a day of wonders we will never forget-with my mother, children, sister, cousin, nephew, friends.

When I first started reading Gloria's thread maybe six years ago? I read for a year, then finally posted on Christmas Eve. Gloria, I think your thread was the start of me really wanting to know God. That and my eldest daughter praying for 13 years that her family would know God.. And now "wonder of wonders, we do!!"

I was pretty much a mess as were some of my children when I first started posting. And all the prayers and friendships on this thread, really saved me many times.I thankyou again for this.

I will definitely pray for everyone's safe travels-Lucy-for your family traveling to Disney World, and Gloria and Linus, with Lori and Sammy and Ollie? and Harlene-Hi! and everyone-lovely posts here and Hi to my wonderful Juanita whose messages are always so comforting and inspiring.

Here is one of my favorites from Jesus Calling-Dec 21st~

"AS you walk along the path I have prepared for you, depending on my strength, Expect to see miracles! and you will!

Living by faith rather than sight enables you to see My Glory"

I hope that God's spirit will shine through as many as possible so that we may have a more peaceful, happier world!

Happy Thanksgiving to us all and "God bless us everyone!"

Good evening everyone,

Onthebay, thank you for your kind words. Nice to see you here. Love "Jesus Calling!" Thank you again dear lady.

Harlene, I thought there was an Alex connection with you. But then I thought maybe not. Glad to hear he is doing well.

Danky, sure hope you have a real nice Thanksgiving. I sure wish I had one of those old milk cans. Not to cook with, just for display.

Bluegrassbaby, and Lucy, thank you for the lovely graphics.

Joy, have a great Thanksgiving!

Go2girl, sure was nice to hear from you. And so happy to hear that your grandson is doing so well. God is good!

Bev, yesterday, I went to my pictures, and I have a picture of Caroline and Alex, at least that is the name I posted on the picture. The picture was from 2011 and he looks about 7 or 8 years old. I remember at that time praying for three Michaels. Twinnie's, Carmela, and Onthebay's.

Gloriajean, as I was looking at the pictures, I thought of quite a few posters from the past: Patf, Jodi, Angela, Jane5511, Pinky Ann, Baby Huey, Robin, InnerWealth, Wondermom, Oceanjade, Shopcity, Hopefully, Linda-in MN. That's just a few.

Keeping all in my prayers. Thank you for yours! My blessing reminiscing...not only about people who posted here from the past, but today at the store, I got to reminise with a neighbor. Thank You Lord Jesus for my memories, whether they are good or bad, they are according to Your Will.

Until next time...

Take Care and God Bless!

Juanita - I know nothing about Patf. She posted a long time with us.. I think she moved to Florida to be near her daughter. Twinnie hasn't posted since her dear twin sister, Mary Ann died. Jodi - haven't heard from her for a long time either. Baby Huey has passed away, I think from cancer. Linda I've tried calling and can't get a hold of her. Never answers emails. Often wonder how she is. There also was a Cathy who moved to AZ. Cactus Cathy she called herself after she moved. I wonder how the rest is doing! Some I have forgotten were part of our thread. Many have come and gone. At first I remember Donna from the House thread on Viewpoints was here - Dmod. And Lucky4. I've contacted Carmela (Lucky 4) and Ann (Pinky Ann). Hope to hear from them.

Thanks much for the reminiscing!

So good to see so many here tonight! And so many from days gone by.

{{{go2grl}}} That is wonderful news about your grandson - sending you lots of love and blessings.

I read about Merle on the prayer thread from Lady R - I'm so sorry to read she isn't doing well. Thank you to Lady R for letting us know - some of us go way, way back to the first thread to her I had started which unfortunately went away but skypie was kind enough to start it up again.

I didn't know Baby Huey passed away.

I don't have a lot of time right now but I wanted to stop by and send {{{hugs}}} to all and hoping you all have more blessing to count.

{{{shorelady}}} Thinking of you.

And thank you to all for keeping my family in thought and prayer - it means the world to me.
