What are you Thankful for?


Being thankful makes you happy.  If you are thinking about the things that you are thankful for, then your mind is too occupied to dwell on things that bother you.

What a wonderful country we live in!  We have so many freedoms that other countries don't have the luxury to experience.  We have our needs met -  families, homes, cars, clothing, food, beds, and also things that we want (toys, fancy clothes, several pairs of shoes, make up, expensive options for cars, etc.).  We can take vacations, work where we want, worship where we want, live where we want, and the lists goes on.

We have sooooo much to be thankful for.  What are you thankful for?  I recently started asking this question of the students that I am so blessed to teach.  Every person has great, good, and not so good things going on in their lives.  It seems like there is more and more "not so happy" things going on for our youth today.  Many families are broken apart by divorce, parents too busy to spend time with their kids to properly teach them in the way they should go, neglect, physical and mental abuse....the list goes on.  My little exercise in sharing what you are thankful for has made us all a little happier and some behavior problems have subsided.  I think I will keep this little exercise going....what do you think? 😉

Try this little exercise yourself today.....
