As we enter Christmas break, we wanted to share with you thoughts some of our students wrote in one of their classes on what they are thankful for.
- I’m thankful for the United States and the freedom we have to be Christians.
- Faith Christian School is something else I am thankful for. I appreciate how the teachers care about the students and that we are able to openly talk about God in school.
- I am most thankful for God’s love for me. He never lets go of me and loves me unconditionally.
- I am grateful for the school and education that I have now. I am thankful that my family has been able to send my siblings and I to a good school with people who are like minded and a curriculum that teaches what we agree with.
- I am thankful for my cats, house, family, basketball, Faith, Jesus Christ, and Xbox ONE because they are all things that I use on a daily basis. I usually take these things for granted, especially Jesus. I forget constantly why I am a Christian and I always wonder why. I guess it’s normal when you aren’t constantly reminding yourself how thankful you are for the blessings in your life.
- I’m thankful just to be alive. Every breath and everyday is given to me from God and I am thankful for the life I have.
- School is also something I am thankful for, even though I may not like it. Some people don’t have the privilege of going to school and I do.
- Thanks to my parents… they have given me a house to live in and many other things. Although, it is not their giving that I take gratitude over. I will admit that I get angry at them, quite frequently at times. Here is the catch; even if I get angry, I know that they care about me and all they want for me is for me to grow old in God’s faith. I say now and any other day, thanks to my parents… I have been taught well and prosper in the house of God.
- For wonderful school – Yeah, yeah… school. In reality though; if not for school I would not be able to speak or write proper English. Also school has introduced many fabulous opportunities for my life ahead. Most of all I thank school for its truly wondrous teachers who give their time for us. Thank you for your efforts and your patience.
- I appreciate creativity foremost because God started creativity when He made the universe, the earth and all that live on it. Secondly, I am an artist and I find joy in observing the world around me.
- I am thankful for my family for many reasons. They have been with me through all the struggles that I have had in life. My parents have always been encouraging to me, and they want to see the best for me. I am extremely grateful for their kindness towards me in hard times and their patience with me when I was being rebellious. My parents have been there to guide me during hard times and my sister has been a great friend. I am very thankful for my family and I will miss them deeply when I am away at college.
- I am very very grateful for everything God has given me. He has provided me with a great family that loves each other and is willing to work through conflicts. My friends are an amazing support group and a never ending source of fun.
- I am thankful for my family, my friends, teachers, and pastors because I can learn from them and they always have my back. I am thankful for my house, my school and food because not everyone has that blessing and I am very blessed compared to some even in America.
- More than often, we take the things we have for granted! This thought should be removed out of our minds. Every single blessing we have has come from God. As 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” we should be thankful even of the things we don’t like.
- So many things I don’t deserve but have, one of those is my family. God has given me an awesome family which loves me and cares for my good, both spiritually and physically.
- School, something which a lot of people seem to don’t like. Those people aren’t appreciating what they are getting. Sharing with your friends and being an educated human being and in a Christian school is far much more than we deserve.
- Jesus is the reason why I have a purpose. He paid the price no one could pay for us. This should be the thing we should be the most thankful for. We have been saved from eternal doom.
