This time of year always brings me such excitement and reminds me of what I am truly thankful for. However, I think it is easy to forget about <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">why<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> we should be thankful. The Lord gives us so many reasons to be thankful, some of which I would like to share with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nThe Lord Commands Us to be Thankful\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Psalm 100:4-5 says, \u201cEnter into His gates with thanksgiving, a<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">nd<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">and<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> bless His name. For the L<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ORD<\/span> <i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">is<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> good; His mercy <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">is<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> everlasting, And His truth <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">endures<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to all generations.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When we are thankful, it can change our perspective on life. We begin noticing the good things more, and the negative things start to dim a little bit. I try to keep a habit of journaling a few times a week, and in the past, I have taken the time to write down three things I am thankful for. I would encourage you, every day, to write down three things that you\u2019re thankful for. God has been so good to us our whole lives, and His mercy never fades. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He never changes. No matter what happens in life, God is always so good. Thank Him for His goodness and mercy.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nThe Lord Has Blessed You with Amazing Opportunities\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Lord blesses us with many opportunities throughout the entirety of our lives. Attending Cedarville is an amazing opportunity within itself \u2013 not just because you\u2019re able to receive an excellent education, but you\u2019re also able to be surrounded and encouraged by other believers. It\u2019s a breath of fresh air to be surrounded in such an encouraging atmosphere, thanking the Lord for all the opportunities He gives us. It is such an incredible opportunity to be able to attend a university committed to loving God and others, having\u00a0 integrity in conduct and excellence in effort, and committed to stand \u201cFor the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ!\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nHe Sent His Son to Die for You\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We were all once poor, lost orphans in desperate need of a loving Father. We were all rebels of God\u2019s mercy and grace and were too blinded by our own sin to see how much we needed it. We were sinners with an unpayable debt in desperate need of a Savior to pay the price for our sins.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">God sent His One and Only Son, whom He loved so very much, to die a gruesome, torturous death on the cross to pay the price for the sins of the whole world, remain in the grave for three days, and then rise again to dwell with our Heavenly Father. God has offered you this amazing gift of grace, and if you have accepted it, He has welcomed you into His family with open arms! You are a son or daughter of the One True King!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Even when we go astray, He is faithful to forgive, and He chases us down and brings us back to Him. It\u2019s just like the following lyrics of the song \u201cGoodness of God\u201d by Bethel Music says, \u201cYour goodness is running after, it\u2019s running after me!\u201d Praise Him for running after you when you went astray!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:720,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nThe Lord is Always with You\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Deuteronomy 31:8 says, \u201c\u2019And the L<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ORD<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, He <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">is<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> the One who goes before you.

Although his death was not sudden in reality, it was sudden in my memory. Because I was so young, I do not remember much about that time in my life. The only memories I have of him are when he was sick, and then suddenly he wasn\u2019t there. My mother, now a widow, had to face a new challenge of being a single mother to my younger brother and me. However, God did not leave us to figure out life on our own. He was with us when my father was sick, and He stayed with us after he called my Daddy home. I am so thankful that God was there to comfort and provide for me and my family during such a difficult time.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whatever you are facing, whether it\u2019s stress from school or a family issue, be assured that God is with you. Run to Him when you need comfort, and He will give you His perfect peace and rest.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><br \/>\nThe Lord gives us so many reasons to be thankful. As we prepare for a time with our loved ones that\u2019s filled with laughter and lots of food, let\u2019s \u201cEnter into His gates with thanksgiving, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> into His courts with praise.\u201d Not just during a Thanksgiving meal, but every day.
