I am still thankful!

November 6

I am thankful for this country. I am not huge into political matters, but I love our freedom. I am thankful that I can worship God without worrying about the government sending a sniper to shoot me. I am thankful that I can proclaim that I am the Lord's and He is mine.

I am thankful for an education. I am thankful that it teaches me self-discipline and hard work. I am thankful for the good and the bad grades, because every one of them is a learning experience. I am thankful that God will use my education in the future to give me a new mission field wherever I end up.

I am thankful that no matter what happens, there is one thing that will never change and that is the wonderful fact that God loves me! He has plans for me even when I question where my life is going. Not only does He always have a plan, but it is a plan that will draw me closer to Him and where He will use me for His eternal Kingdom! If there is one thing I have learned in the past 20 years, it is that I can have all the popularity and money I've ever dreamed of, but if God is not standing right next to me, it will be a miserable life. I am loved. I am treasured.  I am precious in His eyes. I am HIS. Therefore, I am thankful.
