A Thankful Day — Give Thanks Always

I am thankful for my father and mother
Who always taught me to love one another
I am thankful for my grandfather and grandmother
Who always read great books to me.
I am thankful for my teacher, Mr. Wachowski
Who taught me that two plus two equals four, not three.
I am thankful for my brothers, Emmet and Billy
They know how to make me feel happy
I am thankful for my sisters Riley and Claire
Who always takes care of my hair
I’m thankful for my cat
She is such a sweetie!
I’m thankful for my friends
I hope our friendship never ends
I’m thankful for this turkey …and for the other turkeys at the table (My cousins in costume from their school play.)
I’m thankful for the Lord above
Who has given me so much love.

Always give thanks to God the Father for everything (Ephesians 5:20).
