Thankful For What We Have

by Miss Monica June

Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays. We have so much to be thankful for. We have delicious food for everyday, warm clothes, a house, and a family . While others don’t have very much at all. People in Africa have to eat bugs, live in mud huts without running water and lights, and they barely have any clothes! Sometimes we think that we have it rough, but there’s always someone else who has it rougher.

We should be Thankful for what we have and not to complain. Any time you don’t get what you want, remember you have a lot and others might not. Be thankful for what you have, and enjoy every day that you have.

If you have a local homeless shelter, you might want to ask your parents if you can go serve them dinner this month. When you see low income children come in you can be kind to them and talk to them. Maybe you can even get some toys from the Dollar Store to take to them that day. When we see other people that have less than us, it sure makes us more thankful.
