What are you Thankful for?
So...what can I write about??? I think I am pretty much out of stuff. Ok, what about holiday traditions?!? I am not sure that we have any for Thanksgiving. I do remember that my Dad, before we ate and prayed sometimes would read a poem that related to Thanksgiving. One time we all sat down to find 5 kernals of Indian corn on each of our plates (or maybe it was 3, can't remember for sure). So we all had to come up with at least that many things that we were thankful for and share with everyone. As a child I would be really shy to do that (even around just family, I was very shy...guess I pretty much overcame that as I got older). I wonder what he will do for Thanksgiving next week, I like that my children experience the same things that I had. I want them to "think" about what they are truly thankful for. Not just the usual kid things, like all of their toys and stuff, but what are they thankful for that can't be replaced. I guess I would love to hear, "I am thankful that my mom homeschools me." Maybe a little early in their life to truly appreciate that though. So here are 3 things that I am thankful for: God Family Country But that is rather generic, why am I thankful for these things and more? God: The source of my exsistence whom without I would be nothing. The lover of my soul (why I do not know). And the only one to offer unconditional love and forgivess, not to mention his only son. Thankyou. Family: Love, the supporters of all that I do (usually) The only people on this earth that will be there for me if I need them. Country: I love my country. I am thankful that I have the freedom to worship whom I choose and when and where also. I am saddened to think that this could someday be taken away from us because so many out there take it for granted that they will always be able to do what they want. I am proud to be a US citizen and proud of the soldiers/airman/marines/sailors that protect our country. What a great place we have. So these are just 3 of the things that I am thankful for...I guess the most important to me; there are so many, many more... What are you thankful for?
