This Thankfulness Bloghop has Ten Things of Thankfulness

I give thanks for the many events to share our faith, get help through support groups, and build up community. I feel that these programs can be life saviors for those in need. I offer thanks for them in acknowledgement of their contributions to our Church and her community. Thanks for these, which make up a TToT (Ten Things of Thankfulness). As you know, I focus on different themes every week and this week, the spotlight is on the church. As you know, I focus on different themes every week and this week, the spotlight is on the church.

2. There are regular meditation retreats.
3. There are vocation discernment talk, camp, and retreat.
4. Special counselling for vulnerable adults.
5. Free movie screenings on special days.
6. Free talks on self-improvement on a wide range on areas.

10. Pre-used items are sold in the church’s gift and book shop.

What do I use from the many offerings to build up my local community?

Number 7 and 9.

In case anyone is wondering if I’m an evangelist here, the answer is no, I’m not evangelizing here. I’m only making a list about my church activities, for a TToT post. I respect your beliefs.

For this week, I had some time to do a Before painting and After painting comparison:

I forgot to snap this art before painting it. Now showing, the after -math when colors have been applied.

Question: Will bloggers object if the caption says “Andrew, Frank and Misky are at a TToT Bloghop party” ?

If there are no objections, the future panels will be drawn to resemble the bloggers’ avatars & photos. If any regular participant objects to being depicted as a character, just drop a comment below. Of course, I’ll only draw good things.

Thank you for your previous comments. This is my reply:

A blogger was curious about my choice of writing on dreams. I had only two topics which I was comfortable in; dreams and intuition, to do research and write on. I asked my then community of bloggers for their opinions. More replies were in favor of dreams. That was a topic with more variety and material for writing. I did also write on intuition, but it was only a short essay. Back in 2018, there were very few credible hardcopy books on intuition, offered by Amazon.
