giving thanks...and giving it.

Here's a poem I wrote when I was, uh, in 6th grade I think. It's sorta cheesy, but I thought it was cute enough to post.


There's so many things I'm thankful for
It's hard to count them all
My mom, my dad, my sister, too
We're all for one and one for all

My friends come next on my long list
Of the things of thankful for
Inside jokes and lots of laughs
And hopefully many more

But there's Someone more important
Who saved me from my sin
Alpha, Omega He's always been
Jesus Christ, my very Best Friend.

And the reason I posted it, well it's the truth. I am thankful for them--and it seems like I've never had time to tell them that. There's so many more things I'm grateful for--food, clothes, a home. Millions of people around the world don't have any of these. So remember, Thanksgiving isn't about getting thanks. It's about giving it to our Savior who laid down His life for us, and always has His arms wide open.

Giving thanks for Him,
anna :)
