What are you thankful for?

Postby rocklobster » Fri Nov 21, 2008 4:54 am

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.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you. I appointed you to be a prophet of all nations."

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 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 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!

A duck hears also." - Igor Stravinsky

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 to be on the right path thanks to God
Given the opertunnity to honor and promote his name in the media industry
Marry the right lady and start a family one day under his guidance:
To be alive, and away from what my father unfortunately did.
And many, many other wonderful things:). Praist the Lord:D
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

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.

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

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.
