Thankful: Death Burial Resurrection:

This is the week that I have set aside in my heart to say Thank U to the Lord for all he's done for me and my family. I'm thankful everyday but I will focus on being thankful versus asking for personal blessings.

Eight months ago I was at a crossroad. My son and my wife both fighting for their respective lives. I was going from hospital to hospital twenty four hours a day. I will blog on this experience in detail the rest of this week. What I'll ask U to do is to leave your thanks ( testimony) and gratitude, and appreciation for what God has done for U and your family. My God I am grateful. Thank U for the Comforter, Thank U for The Power Of The Blood, Thank U For The Lamb Of God (Jesus).

I have been blessed with a loving wife (and understanding - see my blog and you'll understand why) and was given the gift of beautiful twin girls one year ago.

Ava said...

God has totally blessed my life. He blessed me with good parents, an early belief and faith in God, with wonderful children that I love, a wonderful husband who loves and understands me. He blessed me with the ability to see the good in all people. He blessed me with the blessing of working with music. I owe Him everything. I thank Him every day.

I was going through my iPod and your song Pray came on. I'm not too religious of a man, but when I feel down, I think of that song or listen to it...and everything seems to make a little more sense. God has blessed me with a family who is now starting to come together once again. He's blessed me with the opprotunity to go to graduate school and further my education. He's blessed me with a wonderful girlfriend who I love very much. And, to my suprise and delight, He has blessed with with a neice to who I completely love and am a very influential and loving part of her very young life.

Nice read Hammer. Love the blog.

I thank God for my new son who's 2 weeks old. I thank God for his son and for loving me more than I have ever deserved!

My two best choices in life:

1. Following Jesus
2. Keep following Jesus

I thank the dear Lord, my creator, for many things:

1. the gift of life, never to be underestimated.

2. the gift of wonderful parents and siblings, friends and other realtives who show me how to love and be grateful regardless of what material possessions I have.

4. the gift of a dear husband who has made my life so much richer and who has shown me that a disability does not make you dis-abled.

5. I thank the Lord also for my husbands' gifts of healing, especially with respect to me - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. His eyes do not see well, but his hands' healing powers make up for it...

5. I thank him for my dear husbands' surgeons throughout his life and especially recently who have preserved what little sight he has and who have been so thoroughly concerned with his care and well-being.

6. I thank Him for giving me the courage and determination to break out of a career which has no meaning for me into one as an entrepreneur where I can make people's lives joyful.

and finally,
7. I thank Him for loving me and continuing to be with me despite all my shortcomings and all my setbacks, for forgiving my tresspasses (even when I sometimes falter at forgiving those who tresspass against me), and by providing wonderful examples for me to emulate as I strive to become the person He dreamed I would be.

Blessings,
MeLissa

Hammer, I know what it's like to realize that God has personally intervened in your life. My mother was very close to death a few years ago and the doctors are still at a loss to explain why she suddenly recovered. That was definitely divine intervention.

North said...

God loves being shown our appreciation and gratitude for our gifts, talents and blessings.

Dear MC, so very glad to hear your wife and son, are ok!! wow! Simultaneous medical scares?

I wasn't aware of their plight; and can only now add, healing light, love and prayers to you all in the Hammer-fam.

Dear God, with Gratitude and Appreciation, we Praise thy name, for the gifts we recieve from thy bounty.

Thank you to everyone for sharing! Lost a dear friend this morning in Detroit (another senseless act of violence takes a rapper's life) and reading these words you've all written has been a comfort.

doubleknot said...

Many years ago I turned my life over to God - I no longer prayed for 'things' but for his will to be done in my life and for my eyes to see the blessings he has given me.
I believe God is unconditional love.
God even used my athiset ex to get me going and make a new life for myself - so even if someone doesn't believe in God he still believes in them.
My heart just swells with graditute at all my blessings.
May you have a wonderful week.
I am glad your son and your wife are OK.

Ava said...

I am so thankful for a God who loves us no matter what. For a God who created all things and gives us joy in our hearts. For a God who sacrificed his son so that we may repent of our sins and be with Him one day. God is Love ... Love is Peace ... Peace brings Joy.

Phil said...

karl said...

I thankful to God because while we were sinners, Christ died for us. I am thankful that God accepts us because of the blood of Jesus Christ, the lamb of God. I am thankful that we receive forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works.

The Rev said...

I'm very thankful that I have my health back after my cancer battle, that I had the strength to lose a lot of weight, and that I will be getting married in a year.

I'm also thankful that I have the opportunity to change the things in my life that need improvement.

Shafa said...

I don't know if you realize this or not Hammer, but today is Nisan 14 on the Jewish Calendar...

AKA, the day Jesus was crucified...

Thank Him, indeed.

Dtrik said...

I thank God for helping me in my daily life, it's sounds dumb, but A lot of times I think I can't get through the day, and I want to just quite and give up, but I think of the Lord, and I know that thigns will get better, and experiencing the bad makes the good so much better. I have a lot to be thankful for, and I will post more about my life as you do. thnx for being an inspiration to everyone.

Dear Mr. MC & Fam, wishing you and yours, a Blessed Easter Season; bearing in mind, Jesus is the reason, for the season. My Easter Thoughts, to you and All:

EASTER BLESSINGS

THE GIANT SLEEPS

The giant sleeps beneath my breast;
behind a mound, of bone and flesh;
pounding like a beated drum,
to mark the place where I begun!

D.D. Sonnenburg June 1-2005 3:29 p.m

-- -- -- During this Easter Season: May God, bestow upon us, the courage and strength to accept all things with grace, and the belief that what manifests is of the will of God. Jesus believed this to be true, and perished for his convictions for truth of His Trinity, with The Holy Spirit, and that we are all connected as One.

As we are guided through life-paths before us, let us always show gratitude for our breath of life. Let us always, be truly grateful.

As God gave his son Jesus, to us; so that we may know eternal love and forgiveness; let us always remind ourselves daily; to always give of ourselves to another, and to forgive those, whom trespass against us; and we must ask forgiveness for those we trespass against.

As we are given the breath of life each day; let us always remember to thank the Lord, our God; for indeed, life is paradise on earth, which was created for us.

We must strive to cherish the earth and each other in the same way God, cherish's each one of us with our breath of life.

Where we walk, is up to God's Will; but, how we walk our life path is up to each one of us through the blessed gift, of free will. What will you do with your freedom today?

-- -- -- Yes, into the now of all "possiblilities" where not only has a door been opened on my journey to this distance of NOW, but also, a fence has been deconstructed, and the flowering bedding plants reach my nostrils, and I smell them again, as if..as if for the first time.

-- -- -- May these words, from a day long ago in my life; re-written and edited here once again, re-inspire hope within each of us, onward towards the essence of Oneness of All with each other.

HI Ava! I have been looking forward to your visits at Spirits in Motion. As you see, in my new post above, I have copied the Easter post, from my Spirits blog; to share with MC here too(smiles.)

And, as I mentioned; I greatly admire your music background and outstanding multi-instruments playing, ability!!

BE YOUR BEST said...

Andre Crouch wrote "My Tribute." I paraphrase, How can I give thanks for all the things You have done for me....The voices of a million angels cannot express my gratitude and all that I am and ever hope to be I owe it all to thee. To God Be the Glory. I praise you Lord, for making me to me blood washed and blood bought by Jesus Christ. I praise You for not leaving me here without the Holy Spirit, My Comforter, My Strengthener, My Helper. Thank you, Jesus. I worship You Lord. I praise You, I magnify You above the pain, the problems, and the past, and future. I praise You for Your Faithfulness, Your Mercies which are new everyday, and Your Grace which is sufficient. In the name, and there is no sweeter name than Jesus The Christ.

Ava said...

Thank you, North!!

I enjoy the visits too and having you on my blog.

Happy Easter to all!!

11 years ago I accepted Christ as my savior! He took me from a pit of despair into fellowship with Him. He transformed my life wholly and completely! I am blessed beyond measure. I have an awesome husband, two beautiful children that I am able to stay home with. He has met all of our needs for He is faithful. His Spirit is alive and active in me! For my God is who He says he is and He can do all He said He can do. Christ has risen, He has risen indeed!

Praise Him for breathing life back into your boy! Thanks for speaking that praise for all to hear.

Happy Easter Hammer. That is so awesome all the miracles and blessings you have recieved from God. God saved my Dad from dying when he fell off a 2 story roof of a house he was building 10 years ago. He broke his back, but was healed and is able to walk. HE has also had a few motorbike accidents where he luckily got away with only a few broken bones. He saved my baby brother when he was born 10 years ago from a indigestion problem. And the most recent. My Uncle was hit by a car on saturday while riding his harley. It turned out it was my pregnant friend who ran into him. My uncle survived with only a broken leg and God looked after my friend and her baby in the womb. God has done so much for me and my family, i could write a book. Thank you Jesus!

Richard said...

Mr. Hammer,
Quiero dar gracias a Dios por Jesús, quien dió su vida por mí y quiero dar gracias también porque sé que está guiando tu vida y puedes ser un ejemplo ante la gente que te aprecia, quédate en esa senda.

¡Grande Hammer! ¡Too legit to quit!
