Thankfulness

Libby & Sam participate in Jr. UMYF at our church on Sunday nights. Their leader asked them to make a list of five things they were thankful for this year and why. Sam, being the champion procrastinator that he is, hasn't even started his list and we're past Thanksgiving already! Libby on the other hand, being my studious child that can't stand for an assignment to go undone, rushed straight home from church last Sunday to write her list. This is what she wrote:

1. I am thankful that I have a new family to love me and take care of me.

2. I am thankful that I have a church so I can learn about God.

3. I am thankful for I have plenty of food to eat so I don't have to go hungry.

4. I am thankful that I have my own bedroom because in Ethiopia we had to share.

5. I am thankful for I have a TV because where I lived before there is not TV or electricity only we have radio.
