What I'm Thankful For

Every year I’m thankful for my family and friends who support me through everything and the love I get from my family and friends. I’m thankful for having shelter and having food to eat, clothes to wear, and people to encourage me in things i like. I’m also thankful for being a follower of Christ. This year I’m thankful for my 6 month old puppy because she is adorable and crazy! —Catlover04

Not for me

I’m Canadian, so I celebrated Thanksgiving on Oct. 11th this year. I had enough turkey, gravy, potatoes, etc. to last a while! Anyway, I’m thankful for my family, my home, food, and clothing. I’m also thankful for all my friends who love me just the way I am.

Everything!

I am thankful for my family,House and cute clothes! I am thankful for my friends,pet cat,,and my wonderful teachers. I could not imagine not having anything to be thankful for! But, there are some people that do not have a lot to be thankful for, so this year I am donating to the Christmas Coalition, so that others have more to be thankful for! I am thankful that I can be thankful! I am also thankful that we have a holiday to celebrate everything we are thankful for. If we all wrote down everything we are thankful for it would fill a HUGE chapter book, but if we wrote down what we are and should be thankful for it could contain all the books of a small library! So this Thanks Giving I am going to be thankful for the stuff I was not but should have been thankful for last year, and I am going to share my thanks with my family!

What I'm Thankful for this year!!!

You know the first thanksgiving , it was with the pilgrams and the Indians. And first I didnt know they ate different foods then we do now. Like they had pumpkin, but they didnt have it as a pie, because they didnt have a oven! So now I’m really thankful for what we have today. I’m thankful for my love ones and friends.Also for my house and bed. I’m thankful for my life and im thankful for my love ones to be safe from harms way.Lets face it everyone, we are always thankful for something.I have more to say but ill just be saying everything i can think of .Lol have a happy thanksgiving everyone!!!

Don’t believe all the hype about the world ending in 2012. They have predicted dates like that hundreds of times and it’s not true. It’s very unbiblical.
