As you know I am Christian and I am proud to follow Christ & anounce his news, I am not a follower of "Dates" to give thanks to the one that has given his life for me.
The most clear thing to me is that I shouldn't bury and grieve for someone that is alive. So this is one of those nice resting sundays... I am no angel through human eye and don't expect to be (that will become the greatest frustration if I ever attemp to expect), but he made me perfect to his eyes and is all I care really...
I thank God for get me through very tough times in my childhood.
I thank God for grabbing me from Death's arms soooo many times and keeping me alive in the middle of civil war.
I thank God because I know the meaning of having food everyday today and because in the past no matter the amount and no matter what, he always had a bite for me.
I Thank God because he has taught me to forgive jerks and most of the times the jerk that lives in myself, because if it was for me.. I would never, but because of him and my will to please his wishes, I have learned to count their offenses and throw them to the bottom of the sea.
I thank God because he understand my feeling and because made me free to express what I want, the way I want it and even when people don't like it.
I thank God for giving me a family that cared to raise me even in their short consicence, but I thank that because he was present in their memories and their hearts is the reason that I am here alive and understanding his love deeply.
I thank God for giving me a heart and a natural body to live and to let me understand that I am here in this world for his cause, and not for evolution rutinary-trasitional purposes borning and dying for no specific reason.
I thank God for give me a special place as his daughter and not as a developing specimen only.
I thank God for giving me a pronounsible name.
I thank God for being in one I can trust besides computers.
I Thank God for respecting the wish of human being of "developing in their own" acepting none of his help.
I Thank God for willing to help only those who call for help and see it has a privilege.. not as a right.
I thank God for being there when I call on my emotional stages because he listens to me and don't charge a fee or gives me useless imperfect human methods.
I Thank God for chosing me to see his wonders.
I Thank God for enjoying his word.
I Thank God for giving human mind to think and develop not caring if they use it to stab him and denie him.
I love God because he gives me a new day every day and let me die to the previous one.
He is my special father and I thank him daily for what he has given me and for what is about to give me, I thank him for including a feeling in humanity called "Faith" that makes everything inside me funtion just like my heart does.

Who is this God you refer too?
Who is God... He is Knowable.
God, who created the universe in all of its magnitude and creative details, is able to be known, by us. He tells us about himself, but even goes beyond that. He welcomes us into a relationship, so that we personally can get to know him. Not only can we know about him, we can know him, intimately.
"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the Lord,
who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight," declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 9:23,24)
Who is God... He is Approachable.
God invites us to talk to him and engage him in what concerns us. We don't have to get our act together first. Neither do we need to be polite, theologically correct or holy. It is his nature to be loving and accepting when we go to him.
"The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth." (Psalms 145:18)
Who is God... He is Creative.
Everything we make is put together with existing materials or built on previous thoughts. God has the capacity of speaking things into existence, not just galaxies and life forms, but solutions to today's problems. God is creative, for us. His power is something he wants us to be aware of and to rely on.
"Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit." (Psalms 147:5)
"...where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth." (Psalms 121:1,2)
Who is God... He is Forgiving.
We sin. We tend to do things our way instead of God's way. And he sees it and knows it. God does not merely overlook such sin, but is prepared to judge and condemn people for their sin. However, God is forgiving and will forgive us from the moment we begin a relationship with him. Jesus, the Son of God, paid for our sin with his death on a cross. He rose from the dead and offers us this forgiveness.
"We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done... We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us." (Romans 3:22,25)
Who is God... He is Honest.
Just like a person who lets you know their thoughts and feelings, God clearly tells us about himself, the possible difference being, he is always honest. Everything he says about himself, or about us, is reliable information. Truer than our feelings, thoughts, and perception, God is totally accurate and honest in what he says. Every promise he makes to us can be fully counted on, he means it. We can take him at his word.
"The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path." (Psalms 119:130,105)
Who is God... He is Capable.
How would you like to be always 100% right, about everything? God is. His wisdom is unlimited. He understands all the elements of a situation, including the history and future events related to it. We do not have to update him, counsel him or persuade him to do the right thing. He will, because he is capable and his motives are pure. If we trust him, he will never make a mistake, never undercut us or deceive us. He can be fully trusted to do what is right, in all circumstances, at all times.
"No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame..." (Psalms 25:3)
Okay this is the one I know, and to get to know him you need to approach first and get to know him.
Oh, so Nyarlythotep?
NO, you can't pronounce it.
I can't help but notice you didn't thank God for The Angry Piper, who totally wants to rock your hot latina body until the break of dawn.
It's only a matter of time, Toyi. Why fight destiny?
^ Well I know men are always ready to rock until the break of dawn.

Makes me want to thank him more and more ... thanks Toyi for a great post. ~hugs~
