So what are you all thankful for this Thanksgiving day?

This morning I went out hunt ducks in the one duck blind of mine that isn't froze up with ice, and some dude was already setting up about 50 feet away. I stopped by to say "Hi" , wishing him a happy Thanksgiving and a successful hunt. Then I turned the boat around for a 20 minute run back to the dock. Oh well , at least I got to go for pre-dawn boat ride. :dontknow:

Im going to a buffet with my mother for lunch, then in the afternoon I plan to play with my collection of vintage hand saws. Swinging by to meet friends at a friend's house tonight with promise of venison kabobs and beer.

Yep! This'll be a fine day. : )

Today I'm thankful for everything. Like most people I mope and groan about this, that, or the other thing at times. But, I have been and still am blessed with so far more than anything that I deserve. I have my health, a means to make a living, my family. To want more than that would be greedy. Today will be spent with family and sharing good food with them.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'm grateful for two things. The first being all the help I received after my apartment building burned down this summer. Because of that I received so many blessings that allowed me to pay it forward. One co-worker, with her church, makes thanksgiving baskets. I was able to contribute to this cause in two ways. I really appreciate being able to help those enjoy a proper thanksgiving.

Every day above ground is a blessing. I count my blessings every day. I have been blessed to make it through a 27 year career in the Army unscathed (no PTSD). Blessed to have the job I have. Blessed to have a supporting wife and kids that turned out okay. I am blessed to have 3 darling grandchildren. I am blessed to have my mother who is till alive. I am blessed to be born in the USA. I am blessed to not be in need nor want. I am blessed with many friends, many of whom I met here on Tnet. I am blessed with good health and great neighbors.


Happy Thanksgiving to all my Tnet friends.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am truly blessed and forever grateful for the opportunities I have had. A special thank you to my guardian angel who has protected me, usually from my own stupidity.

Yes indeed. Guardians Angels, ministering spirits, that have tattered feathers from keeping us from killing ourselves. I can relate too well. Thanks for the honesty of which I can empathize completely.:icon_salut:

I am Greatful to God for blessing me with another day. My family, my health and my ability to provide for my family. The song birds and the beautiful puffy white clouds that come up after a rainstorm.

O Heavenly Father:
We thank Thee for food and remember the hungry.
We thank Thee for health and remember the sick.
We thank Thee for friends and remember the friendless.
We thank Thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service.
That Thy gifts to us may be used for others. Amen.


Bless all my Treasure hunting friends

The last several years for me have not been "good" ones but, rather terrible. LOL! Of course my perspective based from an earthly plane is always selfish to my very core. Running like Jonah from the Most High ain't recommended if you want any peace in this life. I do have so much to be grateful for and pray my course adrift will be corrected back onto the straight and narrow to once it was. Ya'll on T-net are a great bunch of folks. It's been a pleasure to have made many a blessed acquaintance with some of you. May we all be truly thankful even in the midst of trials and tribulations much of which is the consequence of our own doing. At least for me. Peace.

I'm very thankful to my successful children and my awesome grandsons.
I'm thankful for my little buddies, my dogs.
So thankful to be above ground and still be able to dig in it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

After reading these posts, I'd like to ask Our Father in heaven to bless all of you. We are still here for a reason, and that reason should be rooted in goodness. I have Deep faith in tomorrow, and all the days following. Stay safe and warm my friends!

Thanks for leading us in prayer Waterscoop.

Thank God a person can still mention God without people getting offended. I'm thankful that in America people are free to believe in God, or not, or to be apathetic about it. Ain't Freedom grand?

I am humbled by your kind words my dear friends. I am pleased that there are many like minded people in our forum who share more then just treasure hunting . Too many take their greatest treasures they already have for granted.
