Thanksgiving reminds me of all the things I’m thankful for. I appreciate my family, God, and hospitals. I am especially thankful for my family because my family are my supporters. JP, my older brother has got my back, supports, and loves me no matter what! My little brother on the other hand just always looks up to me and wants to play with me. My Mom always helps me through both good and bad times. And my Dad, would do anything just to make me smile and would save me from anything. I also appreciate God because of all the blessings he gives me like my family, freinds, food, water, shelter, myslelf, and churches. I also appreciate God sent Jesus down to us so he call teach us the our Father, showed us, how to live, gave us eternal life, and died on the cross to save us for all of our sin and forgive it. Finally, I am grateful for hospitals because if we did not have hospitals people who are ill or ingerd can not see the doctors and people who have a broken bone heal well and it would hurt for a big time. Also people who are ill could not be helped the correct way.
As I enjoy this holiday season, I realize I have many reasons to be thankful. My family, Go, and hospitals are very important to me.
