With thanksgiving only a week or so away, I was wondering what you people out there are thankful for. Post it here! One catch: it has to be something God gave you.

I'm thankful that I might have a baby in my tummy :)
I'm thankful for all the love and support on CAA
I'm thankful that I went through the hard stuff so i could really know the Lord is with me
I'm thankful that God's strength is always there
I'm thankful that Jesus died so that I might be able to be with Him
I'm thankful that I have a roof over my head, food to eat and clothes to wear
I'm thankful for learning that Love is real and isn't sick and twisted
I'm thankful that one day I will be healed
I'm thankful that even in when others may abandon me, God never will
I'm thankful that when others judge me, God will still love me
I'm thankful for having to clean a room, because at least I have a room to clean

There's more but that's all I can type at the moment

I'm just thankful. Because God is great. :)

(If I thanked him for everything He's done for me, I'd have the longest post in CAA history. Not counting the spammers.)

I'm thankful that God gave me a passion for rock and roll, loving parents who support my passion, and the ability to follow it.

And Lord, we are especially thankful for nuclear power, the cleanest, safest energy source there is. Except for solar, which is just a pipe dream.

I'm thankful for:
A God who cares for me and sent His Son to die for me
My family
My wonderful job and boss
Safety in all the driving/woods traversing I do on the job
The opportunity to work with the kids in my church
The wonderful church I go to
The ability to hear and enjoy wonderful music from composers such as Beethoven, Wagner, Igor Stravinsky, Raymond Scott, Frank Zappa, Danny Elfman, and Yoko Kanno
Laughter
Chai tea
A local Japanese restaurant that serves great food
Some of those are small, but I am thankful for them!

I thank God that everything related to school has worked out, that I have found a Christian group to meet with, and that I have over and above what I thought I would even need. Aleluyah! The scripture is actually true!

Hmm...well I guess I am thankful that this Thanksgiving will be fun and interesting; compared to last years. Four of the Japanese exchange students will be coming back with me to my parents house from Wendsday to Sunday.

Oh and I am thankful that I am alive.

I'm thankful for God's mercy towards a fool like me.
Add to this all of the stereotyped things to be thankful for.

Oddly, I'm thankful that I caught mono. Doing so was not a fun experience, but it really forced me to slow down and rethink a whole lot of things that had been wandering around my mind for the last six months.

I'm thankful for the few people in my life right now who at the very least pretend to care, without them I really don't know what I might have done over the course of the past few months.

I am thankful for having kind loving and understanding parents who care about me deeply.(the most importent one)
And the other things I will put on a list.
1.the diamond I found in 10 ton of cole.
2.The sites I am on which are,
Yugioh etc
CAA which stands for cars and automobiles (It's not this site) XD
Anime Planet
My Anime List
Fanfiction
Pojo
Anime database
Youtube.
3.The friends on the sites I am on.
4.The gift of five senses.
5.And one of the most importent ones except the one about my parents.Which is how to know how christians treat each other with respect and trust and will not try to brain wash you and force you to agree with them and how Christian anime alience treats all people equal and how it is not a popularity contest with mod's who are two faced and twist the words of other less popular members until the whole chat go's aginest the unpopular members just because the mod said so (which most sites do).I do think I have found the 1 jem in this dark and damp cave.

Oi, this thread has taken a depressing turn. Let's see if I, with my limited skills, can perk it up.

First of all, I'm thankful for bananas, caramelldansen, and the unofficial CAA chat thread. All of which make me laugh. :D

Most important though, I'm thankful for this life God has given me and all the wonderful opportunities and circumstances He's given to me to experience, which includes(but is so not limited to) coming to CAA and meeting and hanging out with some awesome people here.

Lastly, I'm thankful for all the good things and the bad things that have happened in my life, they've made me who I am now in Christ, and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
