Giving thanks...

Since Thanksgiving is this Thursday we are going to tell you about some things we are thankful for.

One thing I am thankful for is my friends. It has been hard to move away from my old friends but it has been a little bit easier since I made new friends. I still wish we were in California though. Another thing I am thankful for is my nana and papa. They let us move in with them when we didn't have a place to stay. One other thing I am thankful for is family. Since we are still together we can go anywhere. Thanksgiving in the dictionary means "a holiday for giving thanks for divine goodness." I think it means not only giving thanks but also giving to others.  People in America ask for video games, toys, and other non-necessities. People in other countries wouldn't even think about things like that. They just want food, water, and clothes. We should give to people not just give thanks this Thanksgiving.

Thanks means an expression of gratitude.  Now I will tell you some of the things I am thankful for.....I am very thankful that I can live in a country where I have the freedom to talk freely about my beliefs, and that I can tell others about Christ.  I am also very, very thankful for the opportunity to dedicate my life to Christ, and have eternal life in Heaven.  One other thing I am thankful for is my family, and friends, because they are kind, supportive, and understanding through everything I do.  I am very glad that Thanksgiving is coming up because it gives me a chance to connect with the family, and to show God how thankful I really am!

P.S. I agree with Micah when he says we should not only give thanks this Thanksgiving, but also to people!

A couple things I'm thankful for is my family, my friends and having Jesus at my side.  I'm thankful for my family because there loving,kind and understanding.  Why  I'm thankful for my friends is because there always there for me when I need them.  I love thanksgiving because you get to tell everyone what your thankful for.  (And for thanksgiving break and of course for the food).  I love thanksgiving food, the turkey, the mashed potato's, and of course my moms famous sweet potato casserole.(Well it's famous to me).
