    I am grateful to get my tests results from my scan and now rated Bi Rads 3 and on a 6 month watch and considered stable for now. On a watch but at least can relax for a few months at least.

    I was able to see my youngest grandchild in her first grade school concert yesterday afternoon since we have not been able to attend anything for a long time. Hard and tiring but glad we went and made her happy we were there.

    I am grateful my daughter and son in law were able to come and be here for our 40th wedding anniversary and stay a day here with us before going back home again. It was a bright spot to help brighten our day since we had been a little down since our doggie died just a week ago. It was a nice surprise to get the call they were coming for anniiversary to be here for us.

    For my dog that is very loving and makes happy and helps me to get more active to play with her in the house sometimes even when I can't walk with her outside.

    In November, 2023, Thanksgiving time just before my diagnosis I received this Gratitude List from a Holy Spiritually lead group.

    Printed now kept at my prayer station in my room as a supreme reminder no matter what Jesus IS with me every step in this journey.

    I pray for others each night and do devotionals each day with an online private distribution list of pastors, oncology nurses, dear "adopted" family-friends, and blood kin I have met throughout my life and most especially during my medical journey to cardio-rehab, Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center (KCBC is studying the "turbo cancer" incidence rate since the pushed injections of COVID 19), oncology professionals, hospitals, and general practitioner's office.

    https://reasonsforhopejesus.com/22-reasons-to-thank-god

    As you set the table with a Thanksgiving feast, take time to remember all the things for which you are thankful. Reflect on these 22 and share them with those at your Thanksgiving table.  Our God is so good and He has given us so much.  Praise Him and give thanks always!

    Psa 136:3 

    https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Ps%20136.3

    O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endures for ever.

    Thank you, Lord, for…

    22. the morning light, reminding me of your presence and faithfulness.

    21. every breath I breathe, reminding me of your sustaining mercies.

    20. physical strength, reminding me that all power comes from you.

    19. a mind that works, reminding me that all rationality starts with you.

    18. the coordination of the members of my body, reminding me of the wisdom of your design.

    17. food and shelter, reminding me of the generosity of your provision.

    16. work to do and tasks to complete, reminding me of your incessant work on my behalf.

    15. family and friends, reminding me of my welcome into your eternal family.

    14. the body of Christ, reminding me of your promise to meet my spiritual needs.

    13. continuing to rescue me from me, reminding me of your ongoing spiritual care.

    12. those who encourage, comfort, and exhort me, reminding me of the faithful zeal of your grace.

    11. the majesty of your Word, reminding me that you are my greatest teacher.

    10.  the illumining power of your Spirit, reminding me of your zeal that I would know, love, and serve you.

    9.  the pain of conviction, reminding me of my need for your sanctifying grace.

    8.  welcoming and receiving my confession, reminding me that you are slow to anger and abounding in love.

    7.  fresh starts and new beginnings, reminding me again and again of the faithfulness of your forgiving love.

    6.  my calling as your ambassador, reminding me to live with your kingdom in view.

    5.  your guiding hand, reminding me that my life moves according to your control.

    4.  suffering and trials, reminding me of my weakness and your strength.

    3.  your empowering grace, reminding me that I was not meant to live on my own.

    2. a secure destiny

    , reminding me of the hope that is only found in you.

    [And the number 1 reason to thank God….]

    Thank you, Lord, that you are the Lord of Lords, and that by grace I am your child forever.

    Also arrived at Thanksgiving Time of 2023.

    [Disclosure:

    Am a paid subscriber to get the latest in medical breakthroughs in functional medicine to his vault.

    Not paid to promote this group in the least but rather have been a researcher utilizing technology since mainframe and punchcard days. These years of experience which helped me ultimately as a tertiary instructor may be why I arrived here today to post.

    Congrats to you! My daughter who is a teacher now and son-in-law who is a Pastor will have their 20th the end of this month. Seems like in my mind she is still 3 or 4 and still so cute. Of course I was young and well and healthy as well then and still had brown hair and not gray!!

    Three things I am grateful for today : I am grateful for the sunshine coming in through my window this morning, lovely day. For my cats furry face purring as I meditate . For the sound of my son’s voice laughing. Wishing all a joyful day of small moments of gratitude.

    I am grateful for a beautiful day today. I am grateful that I could see my son finishing one of UTMB races - few years ago this young man was told by doctors that he would never run again. Today he finished 29km (18 miles) trail run with nearly 1700 m (5500 feet) elevation gain.
    i am grateful for this thread that reminded me that life is a beautiful gift.
    May we all have a blessed day today.

    Edited to add distance in miles and elevation in feet:)
