I know this is lame, but after helping out for Teen Challenge today at church, it made me take a look at others and see what tough challenges they're going through instead of keeping my main focus on myself. So, name one thing (or as many) that you're incredibly thankful for.

I'm thankful for hot water for the bathtub and a cozy house to live in, away from the freezing wind outside. I'm also thankful for amazing friends and an incredible family that I can spend time with, laugh with and share all my troubles with. I love you guys

ESPECIALLY God in His faithfulness and Mercy. He never gives up on us -- even when we're being stubborn and bull-headed, He's always standing with open arms to forgive us of our sins if we repent. He's also Fatherly, and won't hesitate to put us in our place when we're TOO bull-headed and stubborn, lol.
Fall is my favorite time of year, so I'm very thankful for the beauty all around us. So many times I know I've taken nature for granted, never stopping to actually thank God for His magnificent beauty and splendor in supplying us with such an awesome world.

I am thankful to God--for loving us enough to kill his own son so that we might have eternal life. I am thankful to Jesus, for giving his life for us. I also am thankful for the daily washing of my sins when all I have to do is ask for forgiveness. I am thankful for intercessors. I am thankful for the gifts and talents God has instilled within me so that I might better His kingdom in all that I do. I thank God for our fore-fathers--those who risked (and willingly gave ) their lives for my freedom (both the generations past, present, and to come). I thank God for America and that I was born here. I thank God for the friends I have met in just the past years--many within the past few months. They are God-given, wonderful people and I am whole heartily grateful to (and for) them. I am thankful for the house we live in, the computer I own, the money I have to buy things for others (and myself). And last but not least, I am thankful for that delicious bird who unwillingly sacrificed his life so that I might eat this year. (There is more, but those were at the top of my head.) ~Rose

Uhm, I may be little late ( ) but I always am and I'd like to say which I am thankful for although we don't celebrate thanksgiving. There is always time for a thank, isn't there? *Ehem* Here it goes... I am thankful for my own warm and safe home, my wonderful supporting parents and all my friends at the internet and at the real life. (Love ya all guys, although I don't seem to say that often enough or act like that ) I'm grateful for all the good memories. And I am thankful for being understood and loved by the people who I love back. I think it's the greatest happiness of all.
