3 Things Everyone Can Be Thankful For

 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34


"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus," wrote a man who had known more than his fair share of difficulties.  His name? We know him as Paul, the Apostle of Jesus Christ. In one sentence Paul gives us the key to unlocking the door to a relationship of blessedness and gratitude.  He is saying in simple terms that thanksgiving is not a holiday to be celebrated but an attitude of your heart to be daily observed because no matter how difficult the circumstances of your life—whether you are in a hospital bed or enjoying health, wealth, and happiness—God is in control.


Thanksgiving didn't begin with American pilgrims in 1621 when Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving and feasting, remembering that God had turned drought to rain that brought a simple harvest. Some 1400 years before, Paul instructed the Thessalonians to be thankful.  Jews were instructed to celebrate deliverance from Egypt—a custom still observed in the Feast of the Tabernacle or Sukkot. When the walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt, Nehemiah instructed the people to stop working and celebrate a season of thanksgiving.


In 1680 the Massachusetts Bay Colony recognized a Day of Thanksgiving, making it official. By 1858, 25 states and two U.S. territories officially recognized a day of thanksgiving, and, since 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November to be Thanksgiving Day, subsequent American Presidents have followed the same pattern.


No matter where you live on planet Earth, every day should be a day of thanksgiving. For what should you be thankful? Don't limit your gratitude to my list, but may I mention some of the things for which I give thanks.


First, I give thanks for the assurance that I am God's child, that He has forgiven me and brought me into the Kingdom of His dear Son—not because I deserved it but because of the Father's great love for me.


Then I am thankful for my family and friends. I must tell you that God has so graciously touched my life with His favor. Yes, I'm thankful not only for His grace that meets me at the point of my weakness, but, honestly, I'm thankful as well for what hasn't happened.


I also thank God for the bumps in the road, challenges that bring me face to face with my weakness and cause me to cry out for God's help and provision that comes in such a way, I know He has provided—as opposed to something just happening. I'm convinced that what He has withheld, I haven't needed, and what He has given me is a stewardship to be used wisely for His work.


I'm thankful that in a world of turmoil, our great God will allow nothing to happen that escapes His attention or ability to prevent. That's why Paul wrote, "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (1 Thessalonians 5:18, KJV).


And what of the future? It will arrive just one day at a time, and when tomorrow comes, God's Son will be there to take my hand and walk with me through the valley one step at a time. Yes, be thankful, friend.  May the sin of ingratitude never be on the "unforgiven" list.  Never!

Look: China Central Television closing song "Feeling Quiet"


"The 1999 version of the closing song was first launched on August 9, 1999. The ratings guide font was bold and thin, and on November 27, 2000, it was changed to bold and bold. Modified at the end of November 5, 2001, the butterfly mark was cancelled, and the double-line font CCTV changed from square corners to rounded corners."

After the single-line logo was changed in 1998, the editor-in-chief of CCTV produced the closing song "Feeling Quiet", but only one and two CCTV sets, which are responsible for daily editing and broadcasting in the editor-in-chief's room, were used. After the closing song, it was written in white on a black background. "Thank you for watching goodbye" word card (font Founder Arts body), this version of the bottom-end of the song will scroll the next day promo (white bold) in the broadcast process, and end of the scene is followed by a butterfly logo , Double-line CCTV logo and the joint picture of the butterfly logo and the Chinese and English station name. In 1999, "Feeling Quiet" adjusted.

Since 2001, the editor-in-chief's office has opened the closing song of "Feeling Quiet" on CCTV Seven.


Since July 9, 2001, as the CCTV Science and Education Channel, which is affiliated to the Social Education Center, started broadcasting, the closing song began to be broadcast on the CCTV Science and Education Channel, and after the ending song is broadcast, it will be displayed for a few seconds and then see the picture.


After that, the editor-in-chief of CCTV made an adjustment to the ending song and enabled it on CCTV 1, 2, and 7. The adjusted ending screen of the ending song was changed to a combined screen of the two-line CCTV station logo and the Chinese and English station name, and the program preview The display method of is also modified, changing to a three-column white bold text covered with a blue translucent background for page display, the top column is the date and week (this content only appears on the first page), and the left column is the program broadcast When the time is displayed, the right column is the content of the program corresponding to the left column, and the animation effect is that the dividing line between the left and right columns pops up from top to bottom and then expands the blue background to both sides with this line as the center. Fly in from the top of the screen (later changed to gradually expand from top to bottom at the text display position), and the contents of the left and right columns expand from the dividing line to both sides (later changed to fly in from the left and right sides of the screen), stay for 10 seconds. After the text fades out, the second page content is expanded in the same way (the top bar is no longer displayed from the second page), and so on, until the last page content is displayed, the dividing line disappears from the screen from bottom to top, and then The blue background gradually converges to the dividing line, but CCTV-10 still use the 1999 version of the editor-in-chief.


At the end of 2009, the editor-in-chief of CCTV produced a new version of the closing song. Since CCTV 1 and 2 had been broadcasted 24 hours a day in October 2004 and November 2009 respectively, the new version of the closing song was only used on CCTV 7. The ending screen of the ending song of this version is "CCTV China Central Television" (in the same style as the new version of the morning song launched at the same period) and the "Thank you for watching" card with black background and white letters (the font continues to use the Founder Variety) The display mode is the same as the previous version after fine-tuning.


In 2013, the ID of CCTV 7 sets was adjusted, and the program preview part of the ending song was fine-tuned after the adjustment. Before the program trailer is displayed, the "7" in the channel image will be displayed first (fixed on the left side of the screen, disappears after the program preview is displayed, the animation effect when it disappears is faded out), and the content of the program trailer is located in the middle right of the screen Position, cancel the original blue background and the entity dividing line between the left and right columns, the text in the top column no longer only appears on the first page, but is now aligned to the left. At the same time, the font is changed, and the animation effect is not adjusted.


From January 2, 2014, CCTV-10 will no longer use "Feeling Quiet". After the all-day program is broadcast, it will be displayed directly and then closed after the picture.
