THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is coming up. Many people take this time to thank God, but I think we should thank Him everyday of our lives. Share 3 things you are thankful for and tell us why.

SAMPLE:

1.I'm grateful I have a job. In fact I have two. I don't need to depend on anyone and I can pay my bills on time.

2. Everytime I see the horrible things that happen in other countries I thank God I am an American citizen. It may not be perfect but I'd rather be an American citizen than live in a communist country like Cuba where supposedly everyone is equal. Yeah right. Or live in an Arab country where women have no rights. Imagine, women in Egypt cannot drive or even go shopping!!

3. And above all I am thankful for my son. He is the light of my life. I had problems getting pregnant but the Lord answered my prayers. He sometimes drives me up a wall (haha) but he definitely makes me laugh. I am so proud of him. He's funny, intelligent, and very loving!

TASK: Be SPECIFIC about what you are thankful for (what and why). Remember it's THREE things.  Post on YOUR blog.  Use the title "THANKSGIVING".  Then visit the blog of each class member and of the professor and thank them for something.
