Prayers

Well, always you like to start with the sadder stuff, Dan,  so well, here goes:
Prayers:

-Always for her and her family, protection, growth, strengthening
-Healing and guidance and reliance on the Word over what one wants to think, what do You say is all there is to it
- not be double minded
-accept that I'm not worthy for anything I could ever do, but cause you make it so
-forgiveness for the pain I have caused others, and their healing
-For my Dad and His family, you see, Granpa died the 7th and well granmas all gone.
-For CD, he has stuff he is going through.
-figuring out what I'm supposed o be doing, my gifts and role
-For Brian, his struggles, i dunno what to say or how to help and I so do want to help
- I'm lost in space, I just don't know what else to do or what I can do for her, to help
-struggles in faith, one movie said "crisis in faith" thought that was a true statement, this is for her, me, those who I have seen and met recently who struggle with religion vs being a Christian
-to accept your forgiveness, cause I have trouble forgiving and kinda weird, but accepting it
- to stand up for what I believe, to accept I'm gonna mess up
- Help for things been working on, anger, patience, controlling tongue, listening skills, being thankful, stepping down and accepting that I'm not the potter, but clay, and God has to mold me or it's the devil.
-accepting your will, cause you sure know what I want, but it's hard for me a lot, cause when what you want is not what I want, well, you know me and my dumb stuff
-help me to continue to figure out this thing called Love, as you want it, not as I want or think it to be
-remove this selfishness within

Now some thanks giving!

Thank you GOD for:

-putting up with my failures
-for being patient with me
-for letting me visit granpa Elsmore before he died, to tell him about you and tell him I loved him
-those who love me enough to rebuke me when I needed it and still do , but keep telling me they love me.
-those who pray for her, and hurt also about all this.
-those who have and still do help me with my issues, failings.
-those who I have been able to help this past few weeks
-reminding me how much work needs to be dine
-reminding me how if you are not the center, it will all collapse
-chances, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.
- Jesus died for us, not cause we would follow, but cause you love us so dearly
- your mercy
-your forgiveness
- your Word, cause it is as it was and though people try to change it, Your Word is still the same and You show it if we truly look for it from you, not for us
-the snow, well, on one hand, it is soo cool to see, on the other, reminds me how beautiful a warm blanket can be
-can't thank you enough for your patience, cause I'm a messup
-that I don't have to be Jesus, but that You see Jesus' blood covering me
- kinda silly, but Dunkin donuts, I really like them
-that I'm no longer over seas
-that family transcends, more than blood relatives, that your blood creates a different family, deeper.
- the ability to speak
-the ability to see
- well, um, for the ability to choose, though sometimes I wish that You would just control me like a robot so that I stop doing dumb stuff
- The sun
- Stars
- Real toilets
- many many more things, that I cannot fathom, and can't fit here.

In Jesus name I ask and bring these things to You. Amen.
