A Time to Be Grateful


During this time of year many of us are more grateful for what we have than at any other time. What are you especially grateful for this year? Who do you appreciate? How can you show your gratefulness?
One of my goals for the coming year is to start a gratitude journal. I really want to reflect on my day and try to think of at least 3 things I am grateful for each day. I recently read in the newspaper that by doing this I could possibly live longer.
What are some things you can do everyday? Remember the KFC commercial...you could start at the dinner table and each family member tell at least one thing they are grateful for that day.
Maybe you already have a way to show how grateful you are for what you have and for the people in your life. Please share with us!
Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for having such a wonderful family. Without my family I wouldn't have nearly as much of the things that I have now without them. Next I am thankful for Jesus being my Lord and Savior because he is my best friend. Lastly, I am thankful for my friends because they give me courage and support.

I am thankful for Jesus dying on the cross for me and forgiving me of my sins. Next, I'm thankful for my wonderful family, because I don't know what I would do without them. Also, I'm thankful for my friends, because they are always there for me. Another thing I'm thankful for is my home, because if I didn't have a phone I would have no where to live.

I am grateful for my wonderful friends, my awesome parents, and my technology. I did not relize I had such great things until this year! I can show my gratefulness by spending more time with my friends, instead of blocking out a couple of people and only talking to one or two. I can show it to my family by spending more time with them on the weekends, instead of going to my friends house every night of the weekend!
Me and my family always eat our dinner, and then we share about our day. One of my things to share should be about how grateful I am for them, and everything else!

I'm not so sure about the living 8 years longer if you make a gratitude journal, but i agree that we should sit with our family every night and tell them how greatful we are for having them.
I am definatly greatful for having my loving and caring family!

I am greatful for my family, friends, and Jesus & God! If Jesus hadn't died for us then we would not be here & I am greatful for that! It is really fun to be around all of my family especially since the twins were born! They are fun to play with! I love to be around my friends because they are wonderful and if I need any help then they could help me! That is ALL I am thankful for!

This year i am very thankful for my family. I apreciate my parents. The reason I appreciate them the most is because they try to provide me with everything I need. Some ways I can show my gratefulness is by telling my parents that I love them and telling them that I appreciate every little thing they do for me.

I am especially grateful for my parents, teachers, and friends. I could show gratefulness everyday by telling people I care, help them with stuff, and even being friends with someone new. Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving too Mrs. McGuyer.

I am especially grateful for my grandmother, for letting all of my family, from both sides, come over to our house to have a big, huge feast on Thanksgiving, and throwing a birthday party for my mother, because her birthday is on Thanksgiving as well.

I can show my gratefulness to her by washing the dishes, helping her clean up after everybody has gone back home, or asking her what needs to be done and do it.


one other thing that I like to do on special occasions, and everyday, is pray and thank the Lord for all of the wonderfukl things that he has done for us in this world.

Bye!
