One Good Thing: join in online

April 12, 2013

Yesterday I set up a prayer activity in our prayer chapel. I asked people to think of One Good Thing, thank God for the blessing, write it on a (pre-cut) flower and hang it on the tree. Just a day later the tree is covered in wonderful blessings. My favourite today is Mommy and Daddy love each other.  What a blessing, however old we are! And a blessing, like so many of them, which we might take for granted unless its taken away from us.

I thought perhaps that you, our website visitors might like to join us by using the ‘comments’  link and adding your own ‘One Good Thing’. You are welcome to add one each day and use it as an opportunity to count your blessings, even on days when there seems so much difficulty you can look for something simple to be thankful for.

I have repeated some which have been posted on our tree, they are all anonymous and on public view:

Im alive, thankyou!
I got together with my misus and we’re still together after 7 years
I got an offer for medical school
Sunday drives to the Cotswolds with my father and uncle
Jesus
I have got a lot of good friends
I have 3 lovely daugthers and 9 healthy grandchildren, I feel blessed
I have a roof over my head
I made it to church today and I know God is here and he is helping us
We have had good weather and my parents are still with me
My husband
I love sleeping in my new bed (age 3)

    For the food in my cupboards and on the table – we are so blessed to be able to have so much choice and such high quality food, and particularly that we don’t ever have to worry about not having enough to eat

    For my wife – my rock, my strength and the love of my life.

    For how fortunate that I am with everything I have.

    For new life – sadness that someone I know died today – but joy in the new life of a baby born last week – and the reminder that God is constant and offers us eternal life in heaven – that life on earth is just part of our eternal existance.

    My little girl was one year old yesterday

    My friend has just moved down from London – she told me the other day it was the first time she had every visited St Martin, she said she could feel the Peace of God there and shed precious tears. I explained that St Martin is somewhere special to me and many other people. She agreed.

    Give thanks for this beuatiful day and the reminder that God does immeasurably more than we can ever see or understand.
