I've never started a thread before...or if I have it was years ago and the experience frightened me enough that I shied away. Interesting that tonight, I learned about faith. Right here, in tvclubchat, in the chat room, I learned real lessons about faith. You see, tonight was just one of those nights. You should be happy, I mean it is Christmas after all, but somehow, no matter what you do, you just feel sad. Tonight was one of those nights for me. So, like I have so many times in the past, I jumped onto this box, headed for chat. There wasn't the rousing group there usually is. Small but friendly. So we joked and chatted and talk turned to Christmas. And that was when it happened. I was suddenly right where I needed to be. Talking and sharing and getting support from people who are strangers, but not.

So faith, it is a funny thing. Just when we think we don't have any left. We find faith in the familiar. Faith in in simple. Faith in the human spirit reaching out and comforting others. Faith in ourselves. Faith that we are exactly where we are meant to be.

Thank you chat friends. Thank you club friends. This place never ceases to amaze me. And really it shouldn't, now that I have a little more faith.

Merry Christmas

Thank you too Wap, for sharing yourself and reminding us all that the meaning of the season is more than lights and trees.

Wap, that was truly beautiful and touched me very deeply. Isn't it funny how when you just feel down, you can turn a corner and there is your sunshine?

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. You know, I am sure this place has been right where alot of people needed to be....maybe we could remind ourselves of some of those times. Feel free to share.

Merry Christmas Eve all!

It has for me. I so appreciate all the hugs and support as I was coping with my mom's death and son's illness. And now all the prayers for my friends.

Me too. I just posted in the Right Now thread how blessed I am. I was sharing to let you all know how I feel, not to brag. Sometimes it feels like snobbery to tell your blessings, but I had to share my wonderment this morning. My family and my tvch friendships are real blessings.

Very nice. :)

My favorite line from a movie is, "It could happen!" from Angels in the Outfield. Sorta sums up faith for me. :)

Blessings to all!

this is something i always told my mom after my nonna died. "how will they know if you loved them, if you don't tell them?" so every day i let the people know that are in my life that they are loved and cared for.

my dearest tvch friends, who are with me day to day, listen to my trials and tribulations, joys and happiness, make me laugh and cry; you give me faith every day that this was the place i was meant to come to. you are near... you are far... but you are my friends. i love you!
