Thank you God for helping me bear short term pain in exchange for long term gain. This is certainly something I never used to be much good at!!

Thank you God, for the skills to fix the water leak on our house this weekend.

Thank you God for helping me bear disappointment without falling into full out victim mode
Thank you God for helping me to keep working on seeing how much is out of my control so I don't blame myself.
Thank you God for stopping me from just lazily claiming it is all out of my control without close examination (so I can get away with not even trying and get away with drinking).
Thank you for helping me allow the thought in: that God might have different plans for me then I have for myself, and that's not necessarily bad....

Thank you God, for a good life, and for continuing to open my eyes to just how good it is.

Thank you God, for helping me think today:
EQ, We are given an unknown amount of time on the planet. Even a long life to us, is less than a blink of God's eye!
I think God wanted you to be joyful but not necessarily comfortable. Give praise for this astonishing gift, and be awed.

Thank you God, for restraining me yesterday when I wanted to smack my father after he yelled at me and his doctor :c004:

Thank you God for helping me to adapt to some ongoing stress. Thank you for helping me rise to the occasion and accept that it may stay this way for some time. Thank you for helping me to stop catastrophizing and just deal.

TG for my HP that I can unload all my crap on, but at the same time gives me inspiration to keep working on the things I need to do.

Thank you God, for income that I didn't plan on.

EternalQ 07-04-2013 03:16 PM

Thank you, God, for all the help you gave to me, helping me move forward away from my painful past. I was so stuck. Grateful for hope returning and for actually caring about life again. Thank you for showing me how impatient and dramatic I can still be internally and for making me want to work on it.

Astro 07-05-2013 06:04 AM

Yep, again, thank you God for a friend who asked me to work for him when I had nothing on my own plate.

EternalQ 07-05-2013 07:56 AM

Thank you God for again helping me to climb out from the self pity hole everytime I jump in it like I did today.

Thank you God, for a big paycheck that filled some of our needs, and a little left over to top off the tank for a short road trip.

Thank you God for always being there even when I keep forgetting about you.

Thank you God, for watching over us after I did a poor job of picking the route for our road trip.

EternalQ 07-07-2013 02:48 PM

Thank you God for leading me today to a "new to me" Intention setting website.... where I was able to set my intention to let go of outcomes and give and get support for that with others..

Thank you God, for showing me how to be OK with just sitting around the house Sunday afternoon. It was a good day of mostly rest.

EternalQ 07-08-2013 07:46 PM

Thank you God for the mysterious Universe. It reminds me that I am a flash of brief light in it. But that nevertheless I have a part to play in the whole light show. :c029:
