Spectator Magazine November 2016

During the month of November, the topics of thanksgiving
and gratitude are talked about by almost all. Here at
Coral Springs Christian Academy, it is our goal to have
our staff, students and families focus on these topics all
throughout the year. However, at this special time of
the year, we do spend a little more time reflecting on
the many blessings we have been given and just how
thankful we truly are.
In the Bible, we are told “rejoice always, pray without
ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances…” This passage
is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Sadly, we
live in a time when there are many people who find it
hard to give thanks, let alone in ALL circumstances.
So the questions becomes, are you thankful? Are you
thankful for your present circumstances? Are you
thankful for your friendships, your family, and your job?
Being thankful is indeed a “life changer”.
CSCA understands, it is not easy to give thanks in all
circumstances, but it is necessary. Thanksgiving
breaks the power of depression, pain, uncertainty and
more. When we give thanks, especially in the hard
times, this brings great pleasure to the heart of God
and it allows you to develop an “attitude for gratitude”
or a “gratitude attitude”.
CSCA has a “gratitude attitude” and we are truly thankful
for all the Lord provides for us. Some of those provisions,
for which we are so thankful, are the students
and families who make up the CSCA Community.
With the recent press on police officers and first
responders, CSCA thought we would take this opportunity
to express how thankful we are, for the many officers
and first responders in our school community.
These dedicated men and women, not only serve the
community at large, but they are a vital part of the
CSCA Community. We are so thankful for our police
officer and first responder moms and dads, who support,
protect, serve and involve themselves as members
of the CSCA Community.
The CSCA Crusader Classic Golf Event will take
place on Friday, November 4th at TPC Eagle Trace.
We invite you to be a part of this great event.
