I have two sisters divorced, and struggling. I have a friend going through a divorce, and struggling. And more.<br /><br />I am certainly not gratified lately. And that is okay by me! I have learned what gratitude really means, and in the midst of everything, I am grateful to my God, King, and Friend for everything in my life.<br /><br />He loves me. He's in control. So, I can always be grateful that, because of those two things, EVERYTHING will turn out alright in the long run as I keep my eyes on Him!<br /><br />I am grateful. And I'm glad you called attention to the difference. Even gladder to examine my heart, and find out that I actually got something right for a change! <br /><br />What a blessing!Tiffhttp://thefaeryinn.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/thankful-thursday-6/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577593297528579327.post-56639951397335980902010-11-04T10:04:42.858-07:002010-11-04T10:04:42.858-07:00This is my first time linking with ye.

However, as you say the Bible tells us to give thanks in all circumstance. As Christians, we can do this knowing will full assurance that God is working all things together for our good.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JoanJoan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430939897829160498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577593297528579327.post-26613887352646897352010-11-04T02:28:14.443-07:002010-11-04T02:28:14.443-07:00I like how you differentiate the word gratified an...I like how you differentiate the word gratified and grateful.<br /><br />May you a blessed week!jhunnellehttp://www.theemissarysfeet.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577593297528579327.post-76331189441264081962010-11-03T22:28:23.086-07:002010-11-03T22:28:23.086-07:00Oh so true and thank you for hosting this month!Oh so true and thank you for hosting this month!It Feels Like Chaoshttp://itfeelslikechaos.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577593297528579327.post-45737374933740038782010-11-03T21:17:33.269-07:002010-11-03T21:17:33.269-07:00hi, am here for TT meme. nice TT entry you have. ...hi, am here for TT meme. nice TT entry you have. in my country we do not have a thanksgiving holiday, i would like to experience that hopefully. cheers!gennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141694559567987559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577593297528579327.post-27341700069109549782010-11-03T20:15:14.915-07:002010-11-03T20:15:14.915-07:00Great post and something to really ponder and cons...Great post and something to really ponder and consider.
