Blog #10 Thanksgiving and thankfulness


During this time of year, we all have something to be thankful for.
I myself count my blessing as I have my family that is still here after
Hurricane Sandy.  We have our house that is still standing and
I know that we will be able to make repairs and make it better.
We will have a great Thanksgiving Dinner with all of our family
and I know that there are those that will not be so lucky.  I am also
thankful for having a secure job and having great students that keep
classes interesting.  Here is the video that I chose to give thanks.
Hope you like the video and music.

  3. My teacher said today that she liked Thanksgiving because it is a holiday that all people celebrate and I agree with her. To me, Thanksgiving is a day we spend with our love ones and to be grateful for what we have. I am very thankful for all that I have and I pray that they would not be taken away from me. I give thanks every night and I hope I would not take it for granted.

    Listening to praise songs give me the inner peace, it makes me grateful for all that I have, and the problems or sad moments are nothing compared to all the happy and relaxing moments in my life. For all who do not believe in Jesus Christ or God, just take this video/ song as a motivation to be thankful for everything in life.

  4. Thanksgiving is really important and we should be giving thanks to everyone. We all should be thankful for our friends and family. We should be happy that we are all together with our family. There are many military family that aren't together for thanksgiving. We should all pray their them and help anybody if needed. If anyone is living with military families then invite them and have a feast together. Don't leave anyone out, make sure everyone is together. Also help the poor and charity for thanksgiving, try to give food and donate clothes for them especially for the people that was affected by sandy.







    I WISH EVERYONE IS HAPPY AND HAVE AN AWESOME THANKSGIVING

    I have chosen this video because of how many people complain of their lives and they have at least a house, food, family, friends, something they can play with, cloth, money, ect...
    People are blind of their blessings and we should be always Thankful for our blessings and what we have not what we want. We should be happy with needs not accessories or unneeded utilities. I AM THANKFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE AND FOR MY GREAT LIFE, PARENTS, HOUSE, FOOD, CLOTH, FRIENDS, EDUCATION, TRANSPORTATION, I AM THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE IN MY LIFE AND ALL THE BLESSINGS THAT I HAVE NOT YET REALIZE I HAVE... THANK YOU!

    Now this video is about a nice story of a thanksgiving miracle, you never know what life can bring you and you have to appreciate what you have. In this case your life or the life of someone really close to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un1ERvYmvrk

    There are many things im thankful this thanksgiving.
    This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for such great friends I have. Friends who I know I can count on. Friends that are there for me no matter what. Friends who have changed my life. Friends who support me. Friends who I can tell everything to. Friends who I know will help me up when I fall. Friends who help me through the worst of my times. Friends who never give up on me. Friends who I can trust. Friends who accept me for me. Friends who stay by my side even when they're 15 miles away from me. Friends who I can talk to no matter what. Friends who give me their shoulder when I cry. Friends who I kid around with. Friends who don't judge me. Friends who tell me I look great when I really don't. Friends who will never turn their back on me. And friends who will never bully me no matter what.
    But most of all, a family. A fmaily who I can tease and they'll never get mad at me. A family who I can pick fights with but in the end, a hug makes everything quite alright. A family who always supports me. A family who will never let me fall to far from where I was. A family I can look up to. They look over me. In my life I'm grateful for everything that has been given to me. I'm grateful for my family always being there for me. A family who always cares for me. A family who loves me. I'm grateful for my talents. The talents that God gave me as a gift. I'm grateful for a lot of things. I'll always be grateful for everything. I'm grateful for all the heartbreaks I've had because I know that feeling of emptiness now. I'm even grateful for having met bullies because now, I know that feeling of isolation and inner pain.
    I'm also most thankful for the soldiers who have gave their life for us. they fought for our country and gave it their all. for that, they are the ones who deserve the most thanks. without them, i wouldn't be able to enjoy so much freedom today.

    THANK YOU!

    Sorry im late with this. I was in Puerto rico theres no internet it comes and goes. Im back I celebrated Thanksgiving in Puerto rico. We have to much to be thankful for. Life is just the biggest thanks we can have. We also have to be thankful for what we have. People that are less fortunate might not have what you have but there happy with the little things and what they do have. As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. – John F. Kennedy. This quote means a lot. As we express what were thankful for make sure you mean it. We all have to be thankful for everything we have as in parents,iteams anything. Thankful for food on the table. Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving. Night

    I'm glad I have so much to be thankful for...Family, friends, as well as my own health and abilities.I'm also thankful to be blessed with food and material possessions that not everyone is able to have.The link I posted is a video to a song that I find very appropriate for thanksgiving.It has an atmosphere of contentment, and that's part of what Thanksgiving is about.
