What I Am Thankful For...


My family

One of the things I am most thank for is my family. If I did not have my family then I do not where I would be. I was adopted into this family and I have never questioned why. I know that God put me here so that I could learn to love Him and to love my Daddy and become the young lady that God wants me to be. My family has been given to me to teach me things.

Here are some of things that my family have taught me.

My Daddy has taught me to love God and to love God's word.

My Mom has taught me how to cook, clean, sew and how to be a young lady.

My older sister, Nicole, has taught me how to write poems and stories. She has a love for stars and I have a love for stars, just like her.

My older brother has taught me never to give up, to trust God and tell yourself you can do it with God's help and with a good attitude .

My other older sister, Alicia, has taught me to be to be patient, kind and not to get angry very quickly.

I love all the things I have learned from my family and hope to learn much more.

I know that I do not tell my family how much I appreciate all the things that they have taught me and all the things that they have done for me. So this thanksgiving I am going to make a list of all the things that they have taught me and then read it to them Thanksgiving day. You can do this too and maybe make a difference in your family.

I think that people have forgoten what Thanksgiving is about .They just think too much about the big feast and good times with friends. When it should be about thanking God for all He has done and thank God for the people that traveled a long way and suffered much, just so we can worship God freely.

I thank God that He gave me a family that loves God and hope you will thank God for your your family this Thanks giving.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. It is encouraging to hear what God has done in your life through giving you a family. Our family often prays that each child in the world will have a family, and it is encouraging to hear of what family has meant to you.
