While 2020 was no picnic and many have found 2021 to be equally as challenging for a variety of reasons. In such uncertain times, it is even more important than ever that we take a moment to give thanks for the blessings we’ve received, even if the blessings come in the form of challenges to help us grow. ## What are you thankful for this year? ![shutterstock_610888295](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/dd_dev/original/3X/6/c/6c5ecca7c809bf8ed1c2beb701664c3d1819d5f7.jpeg) ---

I was thankful that the world slowed down and I was able to get back into the focus of my goals. I had 3 very specific goals on my dream board, and was able to get them all accomplished. ---

I am thankful to God first of all for everything he’s done in my life and taking me through another year, I thank my wife and family for standing by me and being a strong backbone to me, and my second family, the USCCA Community/Family for this forum and the great discussions we have and you guys kept me going. ---

I’m glad I got retired sleepy Joe’s first full day as president. I paid my dues, it’s nice to be able to “stop and smell the roses”. Thankful my wife and I have worked as a team since day one, so this final layoff was a blessing. Time to get ready to head to the club 👍 ---

Nancy and I are thankful that we have everything we need and are able to share and we can afford to buy several things we want. We are thankful for our grandchild Liberty Ann, she is truly a jewel. I am thankful for passing my first year of stopping smoking. We live in a great area and have good neighbors who watch out for each other. All in all we live a good life. 🇺🇸. ---

I’m still far from perfect, still can’t walk on water, but I’ve never felt more spiritually alive. _Soli Deo Gloria_. I’m thankful also for good health, gout and arthritis notwithstanding. And, best news so far this year: my wife and I will be grandparents in April next year. Life is good. _Soli Deo Gloria_. ---

I have a LOT to be thankful for, but for this year, I’m thankful that our house is actually getting fixed after having some guy drive through our dining room a year ago - and that it didn’t happen again this year. Today is the one year anniversary and with all the covid stuff and political shenanigans it’s been very hard to get the materials and people to get everything fixed. It’s still not done, but we never had to move out and it’s getting done a little at a time. Or large bunches in spurts… ---

There is so, so much to be thankful for ! A still great country (IMO) in which Americans appear to be a waking up, freedom of religion, a wonderful wife & friend who’s stood by me through thick & thin, friends & family that mean so much, a comfortable lifestyle (no Ferraris, but that’s fine), and so importantly, both of us are in very good health. I guess I or anyone could continue, but hopefully, I’ve hit the highlights. ---

I am thankful that Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges. The verdict gave many of us a renewed confidence in our Justice System. I am thankful for the 12 men and women from the State of Wisconsin who stood up to the mob at the cost of their own safety just like our own Founders. 🇺🇸 ---

I am thankful for everything. 2021 has been a roller coaster ride of good, death, sickness, career opportunities, puppy and normalcy. I am most thankful that god carried us through it all and held us together during difficult times. I am thankful for my wife and family as well as amazing friends! I’m a firm believer that you are the company that you keep and for them, I am thankful! Happy Thanksgivings my USSA brothers and sister! ---

This year has been intense both personally and definitely at national and world level. On a personal level I’m thankful that my wife and children are healthy and happy. My Mom finally got to retire. My Dad seems to be beating cancer (again). My mother-in-law has been dealing with some medical issues but seems to be getting some answers finally. My job seems like it might be going in a positive direction. Almost forgot, my father-in-law retired too. I feel like the Republicans are finally poised to stop letting the Democrats run over our country with their bullshit and am thankful for that. Our country has been out-of-balance to the far left for too long and we at least need to get back to center. ---

There is so much where do I start. We have lost family and friends this year. I am thankful to have had them in my life. For My wife and kids and grandkids who I wouldn’t trade for anything. For all of our Service men and women who stand in the Breech for us. FRor my God who blesses me everyday. And this country to which I am very proud of 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 ---

…and the GOA just bought Kyle a new AR-15…saw that in the MSM today, and smiled thinking of all the meltdown going on by the brainwashed masses. I’ll be renewing my GOA membership this week for sure. ---
