Thanksgiving is all about what were thankful for, right? Exactly! Alot of people think that Thanksgiving is a day to eat excessively and then go Christmas shopping right after.
To me, Thanksgiving is a day to spend time with family. It is also a day to thank God for all the blessings and wonderful things he has given to us. We are also thankful for living in a free country full of opportunities. Alot of third-world countries aren't even allowed to follow the religion they desire or know best. They must obey the ruler of their country. They don't have a freedom of speech like we do.
I am also thankul for having parents who care about me. Some people have kids, but they don't want them. Instead, they give them up for adoption. Sometimes, they abduct them and treat them badly. They wish that they never existed. Some people, on the other hand, love children and would do anything for them. That's what you call a parent!
Alot of people think that Thanksgiving is just a big feast. I feel that God provided for the meal on Thanksgiving Day. Alot of people think," Oh, it's just another all-you-can-eat feast." All they do is just eat and eat like they don't have a care in the world.
People think that Thanksgiving is "just another holiday". Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for everything we have.
