~*Donna*~Thankful!!

[Guest guest]

Donna,

Welcome back to Posting but I want to show you even though we both have plenty of problems how your Thankful list fits with mine!

I am thankful:For my home, cause I know there are a lot of homeless people in this world.

I have a tiny apt with 3 people and 6 animals, and we are a Month and 1/2 behind on the rent!We haven't been kicked out yet!

For food, cause there are a lot of hungry people all over the world.

Where we live they have a food Pantry the 1st and 3rd Wed of the Month! We are LITTERALLY living from pantry to pantry! You usually get 1bl. of hamburger and 1 pack of sausage or Brats that is our meat for the 2 weeks. Thank God for nice churches around here we got 2 turkeies and a pork roast! The roast is long gone but we have 2 still big fat Turkies! Was 3 but we ate one before Thankgsgiving just after Pantry when we got it! None of us have died of starvation yet! In fact we probably haven't even lost anymore than a pound or 2 if that!

For my job, cause there are a lot of others without jobs or unable to work.

I am disabled Totally and my Husbands job is seasonal! He works at a resort and makes minimum wage during the season with NO overtime. In fact he never got in 40 hrs. a week. Now we are really lucky if he gets in 15 or 20 hours! Also he get paid every 2 weeks so makes it even harder. He is searching hard for another but just can NOT find one. We don't have gas for him to just pound the pavement. WE ARE SINKING FAST!!!!!!!!! But the boat hasn't fell apart yet and we are together!

For my family, there are a lot of people who have no family, or they are not speaking for various reasons, which can make this time of year rather lonely.

Although I am very Thankful for my family they are 1300 miles away! So I am unable to be with my children or grandchildren for most any holiday. Out of My 17 living of the 18 I did get a Phone Call from ONE of them! My baby birth child. He said I just called to tell you I love and miss you Mama and Happy Thanksgiving! Then he had to go pretty soon because his antenna had to be turned so he could get the ball game in! But he did call! The 3 of us are together still and we are RICH! We had our Church family to go eat with instead of alone VERY RICH, Maybe not in monitary ways but in many other ways! I have many 1,000's of you online atcually it's probably in the 100's of thousands range. If I borrowed a buck from each of you I would be able to get out of debt and not go to bed hungry at night LOL! No I am blessed just to have each and every one of you sorry for the sly sarcasim that slipped in! I remind myself daily how lucky I am to have so many to love and whom love me!I know there are so many other things that I could list but these are just a few on my Thankful List this year. May each of you be Blessed in a special way!!! Thanks for being there and listening when I need to vent,And just for being my special online family!!! Love you all bunches!! All of this fits for me too. The bad side is in blue but then in Red you see what I do have to be Thankful for! A BIG PART OF THAT BEING THE 210 of you and Yahoo is NOT counting right I do know that it's more like 215 or more, but anyway I have all of this family to love and be loved by!!!!!! This site would have went under and drowened the first week if not for the great volenteers! No way I could have done this alone so God sent me the helpers I needed and continues to do so!

Love & God Bless! /Wolf~President I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe. "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
