Happy Thanksgiving! Yeah, I have the blog while we are out of school. Since it is Thanksgiving break, I’m going to say the things I’m thankful for and hopefully help you all get into the attitude of this holiday. I know we are all excited about not going to school and getting to eat lots of great food, but I don’t think we can forget what it’s all about.
Starting off, I am of course thankful for having Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. My life would be a train wreck without Him, and I am eternally thankful (pun definitely intended). My family and friends are next on my list; they are a big part of my life and I love them so much.
I am also thankful that I get to attend MJCA, even though some people would say differently. My parents pay money for me to get a better education, and I don’t want to take that for granted. I have to throw the troops in there as well, how could I not be thankful to men and women who put their lives on the line for our country? That statement leads me to the fact that I live in a free country, and that is a big deal.
Since I don’t have any life destroying illnesses and I have all of my limbs, I also get to be thankful for that. There are so many things in my life that I get to be thankful for and I hate it that we usually only pay attention to them once a year. I want to start being thankful everyday, and not just on the day we devour large amounts of food while watching football. Well, hope that got you ready for the day known as Thanksgiving, Turkey day, or whatever you want to call it. Have a good one!

Kaitlynn,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Unfortunately society only leaves thankfulness for Thanksgiving and not every day...if that makes sense...

Thank you, Kait, for this pep talk! I am so pumped and ready for Thanksgiving now. My favorite thing you said was "devour large amounts of food and watch football"... no I'm just kidding :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, we should be thankful all year long not just Thanksgiving. Thanks for that reminder and good blog, girly.
Love your BEST best friend,
Katy :)
Now I'm ready to be more thankful just for reading this
