I am thankful that I KNOW that I have the right to exercise my own spirituality and religion as I see fit and not as anyone would dictate to me. I am thankful for the wisdom from the Divine Essence (God, Ya Bahaullabha, Hashem, Allah) presented in many Holy Writings (especially Baha'i writings and prayers) I am thankful to live in a country that does not demand that I follow "their god" or express my spirituality in ways that are not mine. I am thankful for FREE SPEECH. I have the right to say so, whatever it is. I am thankful that everyone is NOT like me, I love diversity. I learn from others. I am thankful for health and provision for this physical life; roof over my head, etc. I am thankful for my family and friends. Those who know me best, whom I love the most. I am thankful for the capacity to THINK for myself...and show others that it is OKAY. I am thankful that NO MATTER WHAT happens in this world, I have the right to respond according to my conscious and heart and I DO NOT HAVE TO live my life according to anyone else's agenda.
What are you thankful for? (this is a spirituality and religion, trolls can move on, share a real answer not some spam)

I hope [b]everyone who has been kind and open-hearted [/b]in reading and responding to this post [b]will see the IRONY of when we are not THANKFUL [/b]we are [b]also not at PEACE [/b]with ourselves and others and maybe, we might be judging others and cursing them rather than loving them as would greatly please God. I am thankful, and I think of what my mother used to say, to not be angry or hurt by people but to say to oneself and THANK GOD...because, it is only "But there, but for the GRACE OF GOD, go I".
Please do not feel that I am being attacked. His Holiness Jesus the Christ, and more recently His Holiness, the Second Coming, Baha'u'llah was cursed, spit upon, beaten, chained, hung to die or exiled from all friends and family to [b]SHOW THE GREATEST OF THE LOVE OF GOD and FORGIVENESS. [/b] Be at peace. [b]And most of all BE THANKFUL [/b]that you are not UNthankful... [b][c=#BF0080] Sending MUCH love to those who will receive it...HUGS[/c][/b]
