I am thankful because Terry’s reflections minister to my hidden spiritual needs in a personal way. I perceive God’s loving hands touching me, so to speak. I am not sure why, but it does — in a way that other reflections don’t, not to put others’ reflections in a bad light.
I am grateful to be able to meditate on God’s Word and be able to share it with my brothers and sisters here in South Africa.

I am so thankful Charlie came to my parish years ago. Terry is doing a wonderful job sharing our faith. I am also grateful for my new grandson Augustus Joseph
I am grateful to God for the life He has given me and opportunity to be transformed spiritual and physically through GNM. I am joyful for being awesome in my daily readings and reflections from GNM for more than 5 years now. I thank God for Terry crews who God is using to reach out to people in this global hard time. Many have received succor from this ministry through the word of God and have changed lives to love God beyond measures. May God bless you all as I continually pray for your team and all who are subscribers to this ministry and for those who wants to be part of this ministry. Finally, I thank my God for the joy He has given me and blessings on my family, praying for a peaceful change of heart of one my son’s. God bless all. Stella. N. K . Nigeria
I am grateful to God to have met GNM at the darkest moment of my life in 2019, when I lost my parents and had to drop out of the university in my final year. Through it all, I have learned to trust in JESUS and never give up on my faith. Just recently, I applied for a remote job online, and Glory to God, I am almost through and will be able to go back to school to Glorify His Name. I am Samuel, from Ghana, West Africa.
I’m thankful for God’s constant reminders that I am loved through GNM! My husband and I have started praying the Angelus daily at 6am, noon and 6pm – I’m thankful for the subtle differences I’ve seen which have made a tremendous difference in our lives. God is truly at work if you put your faith and trust in Him.
I thank God for seeing further into the future than I can. I thank him for establishing Good News Ministries. I can’t read every email but I am grateful for their presence. My marriage broke down, partly due to my daughter becoming violent and my husband’s refusal to intervene. We separated, she has become viciously cruel to my young sons. I have to remove them from that environment; I am scared of their father’s reaction. I pray for strength and I thank God for giving me the courage to discuss this with him.
I fear his possible reaction but know I must protect my sons. I prayed endlessly to go home, but he has chosen our daughter above all else, regardless of her behaviour. I see now that God has protected me and that is why I can’t go back. Praise him, he truly deserves it. Amen
I thank God for every new day ,healing from cancer , for my son’s change in lifestyle , for my family and friends and every blessing that He has given me all the days of my life 🙏❤️
Very Thankful for Faith’s faith in me.
Thankful for GNM ministry…for God’s blessings every day…for life and love of family, friends, community. God is merciful and compassionate. Thank you.
We praise you & thank you for your hard work in delivering your reflections around the world. We still can’t visit our shut-ins but we can mail them your reflections. Which I do twice a week. It’s a connection they don’t have to their Church and our God.
P. S. I am very grateful for GNM.

I am very thankful for the life our precious Lord has given me. I made a promise to His son Jesus Christ and Mother Mary. I was at the edge of losing my life, but through having faith in Him I was cured. So I owe everything in my life to Jesus. I believe in the Holy Trinity and I believe with the love of God we will get through this pandemic. We all should pray more and put our faith completely in Him. I have given my life for Him. I do apostolic work, that was a promise I made. God bless. Have a blessed and wonderful evening.
EVERY day we thank God for each other, our food he provides, and our happiness. God supplies our happiness (not people) and our peacefulness in these hard times. He puts everything in perspective for us. We are thankful for our families who call and visit us by phone. Keeps us informed. I’ve been with GNM for around 10+ years? Print off reflections for the homebound and Assisted Living and Nursing home in our area. We service 6 facilities in our town. Also, we were taking communion but now I send (mail) reflections out. It’s the least we can do. We are both 87 years old now and we are so happy to be able to serve our Lord still in our small way. We are SOooooooooo thankful for GNM.
I am thankful for the hope God instills in me everyday. Hope for a better future, for a peaceful country, hope for our hardened hearts to soften,
I am thankful for His love, knowing that whatever heartache, physical , mental and spiritual pain I go through, knowing that His love for me is greater , helps me better cope with what seems like lost causes.
I am thankful for my prayers always being heard and answered in my most desperate times of my life. When I felt most alone, You have shown me that You are with me, in ways that a Father shows His broken child, with enlightenment, love and understanding and forgiveness.
I am just thankful for You.
I thank God for His abundant mercies over my family, my Sister in community and especially over my life. For more that three years, I have been in very good health despite a forecast of hypertension by a medical doctor and a very heavy work schedule. I have just retired by His grace and still enjoying good health! GOD IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE TO HIS WORD! Blessed be the Lamb of God!
I don’t know why He so loves me in spite of all my sins and failures. All of my life I will praise the Living God with a joyful heart. I will adore Him while He gives me breath. Blessed be His Name now and forever!!!
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to express this deep experience of God’s love and power!
My wife and I have been with Good News Ministries for about 10 years. We are grateful to God for giving us health. We have been retired for the last two years. We are thankful that He has given us the opportunity to enjoy two years of retirement. Our three sons are working and are healthy as well. They have jobs and are able to provide for their families. We have 11 grandchildren and one that went to heaven on January 26th of this year. We are thankful that God took him home before the Corona Virus hospital restrictions limiting family members in a patient room. We were all present during his passing. We are thankful that we have a home and are able to pay our mortgage. We are thankful that we have health coverage and that we can buy groceries. We praise God because He has always been so good and merciful to us and our family.
Happy Thanksgiving to all,

I thank GOD for havin connected to GNM this year, tho am used to read and reflect the word of God using various tools in the Net, and the BIBLE, but am much interested with GNM by a friend FB account in a Catholic Covenant Community.@66 yr old , the pandemic brought me to a very extra ordinary situation of life – 24/7 caregiving duty for my stroke husband (75yr old) since March 2019. There were times I ask the LORD, “Why me Lord, can I still carry it on ..all alone ” and He answered me clearly ” — “You’re not alone, my dear daughter.. Iam always with you.. I will never leave you orphan.. ” and tears keep rolling down my cheek.., and I cried out in the silence of my heart …, Lord Jesus, for every pain and struggle am goin through … let it be offered for your glory..! For all the pains when you carried the cross for your love for me, a sinner.., and I claimed JESUS you’re my strength, my hope, my light and my salvation. Amen. I LOVE YOU LORD!
I first came into the GNM fold @ 8-10 years ago. The insights Terry has shared seemed to nearly always parallel the path has put me on. I was especially effected when she started her book on the tears of the Father. Her relationship with her Dad and how it was a barrier to a deeper relationship with Abba Father really opened my eyes to what I needed to do to deepen my own relationship with Father God. Even though the necessity for an active relationship with my Dad has disappeared with his passing in 2008, I have been actively seeking to be closer to our dear Heavenly Father ever since I read the initial chapters of Terry’s book. I am delighted to get her fresh insights in the newest chapters and am eagerly awaiting the conclusion and publication. I am living in Edmond, Oklahoma, USA
Praise be to Jesus Christ.
I chanced upon GNM many years ago n I have also introduced it to my friends. I love the way Terry explains the Gospel. It’s clear , simple and full of inspiration.
Most of the time it seems to relates to my daily life, guiding and encouraging me along the way. Jesus in His Mercy n Goodness has made this happened. I believed it’s Divine providence that made me came upon GNM. Any way, I am thankful to God for not forsaking me but has been a Merciful Father to this ‘Prodigal child’ returning home.
I will be forever grateful and thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ and to GNM as well!
With lots of Love,

I am grateful to God for the early insight he gave to the Archbishop of Singapore to lock down churches during the very beginning when Singapore first experience the Corona-virus pandemic. Initially many Catholics were condemning Archbishop as a man without faith in God, afraid to
die and suffer. However as the pandemic swept through and claim casualties of other religious denominations who left open their places of worship, we began to see the insight and wisdom God imparted to Archbishop William who instead of opening the places of worship introduced livestream Mass, adoration and services using online services to teach, encourage and comfort the poor, distressed and disadvantaged. Now our churches are opened again but with social distancing, masks, cleaning and disinfectants and limited places for which those who yearn to worship must register fir before being allowed entry and for contact tracing. Other religions are now following the lead set by our Catholic faith and mosques and temples are learning from us. This is the glory and praises belong to God who granted him insights and good sense. May all Catholics and Christians never put God to the test! Praise the Lord
I Thank God for giving the Good News Ministry the wisdom and faith to help people like me struggling with every day trials. Thank you Lord for using Terry to minister to us. I am very grateful that I am working in the Cook islands, we are not affected by the pandemic.
Praise God.
Good News Ministries reminds me each and every day of my need/dependence on our Almighty God. I really can’t remember when exactly when I was introduced to Good News Ministries but I did attend a Catholic Charismatic Conference in Toledo, OH, probably in the early 1980s. It was at this conference that I heard and was inspired by the testimony of Charlie Osborn. I was active in my Parish there in Toledo, first being commissioned to be a Lay Distributor for Jesus and also becoming a Lector at Mass. Leaving Toledo 13 years ago, first living in Georgia, I now live and love here in Fort Walton Beach, FL, and I thank our Loving and Gracious Lord for bringing me this far in my walk with Him! Oh my goodness, I just figured out how many years I have been inspired by Good News Ministries and, I thank You, Lord, once again!!
I am grateful for GNM which I was introduced to about 4-5 years ago. The beautiful meditations help me to focus on my personal meditation time with Jesus. Often what Jesus wants me to meditate on is exactly what Terry writes in her meditation. God is so good! I’ve shared in the past this website as well. Thank God for GNM and Terry Monica and staff! Amen. **DECOLORES**
God has been so good to me! I’m the 11th child of 14. I was born in our farmhouse. I had seven brothers and three sisters. When my Dad was told I was a girl, he said, “O boy, O joy. Let’s call her Joyce! I was the 11h child! My six year old brother died from spinal meningitis the next year and Mom gave birth to a stillborn the following year. I believe my family gave me all their ‘hurting’ love. I have always felt so very blessed! LOVE BEGETS LOVE!
My first two years of schooling, I went to a one roomed schoolhouse. Ten years later I graduated from a Catholic High School. For the last sixty years I have been a member of a small rural parish. My husband and I joined a bible study, then Christian Family Movement, consisting of older, established couples. I made a Cursillo, a short course in Christianity and experienced the presence of a god as though He stood before me! For the last forty years we always got a pastor ten years from retiring. Vatican II came along. My husband and I taught CCD, started a youth group. My husband was the first Lector – I was the first woman Lector (only because there was not a man willing). I continued being a leader in our parish. I am now a commissioned presider in our parish. I found your website and really felt drawn to what this man Terry said. ( I have a son in-law named Terry. ). He thought the same as I did! Then I finally realized Terry is a woman! So many reflections are by men, and I don’t think like they do. Thank you Terry. Your reflections are so inspiring to me! I give you credit for what I use from you and then add my own personal thoughts. My joy is that God loves me and my family!
I have been reading the daily reflections since the early 1990’s. They are always supportive and often give my views a new perspective. I am enjoying reading Terry’s book and reflecting on some different ways of seeing things.
We live in WI for about 7 months and Florida for five. God has blessed us with a loving family and faith-filled friends. God is good…..all the time!
From Manju Pereira:
I praise & thank God with all my heart that every morning I find an inspiring quote from a saint to buoy my faith, to shape my thoughts, sometimes to be convicted of my failings, & most of all, to take me into the way of holiness.
I am a subscriber of Daily Blessings.
I am grateful to God for his mercy and continued protection. I trust fully in his mercy
I thank God for the time He allowed me to live with Dennis; for all cares and providence he has had for me since my husband Dennis left with Him.
I thank God for GNM team to be part of my daily live for so long, that I do not remember when I began to read those beautiful messages.
I thank God for Terri and her obedience to God, for the words of encouragement she said to me when I needed it most, and for her prayers for me.
Thanks GNM for being part of my life.
May God bless all of you always.

I am thankful for finding Good News Ministries on 9/11 and have continued to praise God through this page. At the time I was working at the UN, now I am retired and serving God through the Social Ministry of my parish.
I have received so many blessings – my family – my faith and my friends (who are my family in the US)
