Thanksgiving, continued

 

If we spend the rest of our life thanking God for His blessings upon us and our family, we cannot possibly encompass them all. In addition to being thankful, we pray that God gives us righteousness and appreciativeness so we show our thankfulness in everyday life. I am so very thankful to GOD for sending us His Guidance, His scriptures, His Messengers to purify our faith/scripture, and explain God’s revelations to us and to discover the mathematical code and scientific facts proving that Quran is indeed the book of God and untouched, and to free us from all the corruption that had been introduced in Islam by those who follow other sources of laws beside Quran. Since with faith, worshipping God alone, and following God’s truth, everything else falls in the right places, I am very thankful to God for promising us Perfect health, Perfect security, Perfect wealth, Joy and happiness now and forever. I am so very thankful to God, for causing miraculous improvements in us and our lives and for teaching us knowledge and wisdom of His scripture, and for granting us His Light. And I am thankful to God for my good family,

my good parents, good submitters especially righteous submitters and good people in our lives.

The importance of being appreciative of God’s guidance (reiterated by Dr. Khalifa): I can never ever thank God enough just for guiding me from darkness into the light for the soul (but I must strive to remember to continue to do so); And I’m thankful for God’s continuously perfect support and reassurance, as I strive in whatever opportunities God creates for me daily to happily work in God’s cause.

I am so thankful that God allowed me to be present with my mother when she passed away. I spent a month with her in her illness, and it was a very spiritual time for me. Such an opportunity to give back to the woman who had given me so much. We had the chance to share little things and big things; the chance to tell her how much I loved her and how thankful I was to have had her as a Mom. And such a blessing to be there as she departed this world. That thin line between life and eternity that we will all cross one day. I pray that I will be

worthy to be invited by the angels into Paradise.

I am blessed to have a God that is Most Merciful; He has given me the opportunity to strive everyday to redeem my soul. And I Thank God for my children. They are truly God’s Gift to my husband and I.

Most importantly, I’m grateful for my faith and GOD. And I’m thankful to have that strong bond with GOD alone Most Gracious and Most Merciful. I’m also grateful for my family. Especially my husband, who works so hard in the name of the GOD to support us and keep us happy. He never complains and is always ready to work and provide for us. I’m always thanking GOD because He is the One runs everything. Without Him we are nothing and because of that I feel so happy and lucky. Also I thank Him always for all the things He gives to us and the things He doesn’t give to us. I am very GRATEFUL.

Thank God for the day and the night, the sun and the moon, and all the creatures that fly, walk, crawl and swim on this amazing planet.
