“I have a lot to be thankful for. I am healthy, happy, and I am loved” -Reba McEntire. When I think about the word thankful, I immediately think of how many blessings I have in my life. We all have so many blessings that we don’t even consider. The actual definition of thankful is “pleased and relieved,” or “expressing gratitude and relief,” but I think it is much much more than that. We all have the privilege to go to a Catholic School that supports and loves each and every one of us. Think of this school as a family. We all love, care, support, and appreciate each other. We are thankful for each other. A few things I am thankful for are my grandparents, my faith, and my friends and family.
One thing I am very thankful for is my absolutely

I love growing up at a Catholic School learning about God and my faith. It really inspires me of how awesome our life would be if we all acted like Jesus did. One thing that I absolutely love about my faith is someone is always with me- God, Jesus, my guardian angel, and all of the saints. I am never alone and I always have someone to turn to. They are all always there for me whenever I need it. Whether I am a my house or somewhere else in the world, I can always turn to them. If there is ever a problem or I need support, God will always help me get through it. No matter how big or how small the problem is, He will help me to the best of his ability. My faith makes me a much better person. I am always told to act like Jesus did or always think WWJD. It may seem hard at times, but in the long run, it’s very easy. We just have to act like Jesus. If we all do that easy step, our world would be like a utopia or perfect world where everyone would be nice and kind to each other. I am very thankful for my faith because without it, I wouldn’t be who I am …show more content…
I know I would do anything for them and hopefully they would do the same thing for me. They support me in everything I do even if whatever I’m doing I’m not very good at. They encourage my to go out and step out of my comfort zone and try something new. No matter what it is, they will support me every step of the way. For example, volleyball. A few of my friends and family encouraged me to try out for club volleyball and I’m so glad I did. I love it so much. Another thing they do that makes me so thankful for them is they laugh so hard with me, (and sometimes at me!) When one of us makes a joke we will laugh so hard it hurts. A few months later, something will remind us of the joke and it will just as funny as before. Laughing is one of my favorite things to do and I love that I get to laugh with them. Finally, I absolutely love having fun with each one of them. We’ll go to theme parks, shopping, go on a hike, photoshoots, go see a movie, go on trips like L.A, and so much more. Each day with one of them is one of the best days of my life. They are all such amazing people and I don’t know what I would do without
Gratitude is one of the positive emotions shown from research and clinical trials to enhance the general well being of human beings. Gratitude is defined by Emmons (2004) as “a sense of thankfulness and joy in response to receiving a gift, whether the gift be a tangible benefit from a specific other or a moment of peaceful bliss evoked by natural beauty. Emmons and McCullough also see gratitude as an attitude, a habit, a personality trait and a way of handling difficult situations response (Emmons & Stern, 2013).
I can learn more about him through the scripture, to feel his power and presence and to witness his miracles. These learning styles not only help me in my spiritual life, but also in my scholastic education.
My family taught me about Jesus at a young age, so I always knew I wanted to have a close relationship with him. Knowing that God is going to have my back no matter what was the best feeling to me. He will never leave a person or turn his back on them. The fact that the Bible guides people is one of the amazing things to me because one scripture can change a person whole life. My discourse community teaches a person about faith, love, and everything a person will ever need in life. Jesus encourages people, and supports people when they fail. Being a Christian motivates me and gives me a meaning of life. Being saved is easy, but the hard part is following his guidelines. He knows people are going to make a lot of mistakes in life, but the fact that he doesn’t judge them is amazing. Accepting Christ means a person has escaped that judgment and therefore they will have external life. Being a part of this discourse community has brought me to a new place in life, and for that I am
When I recognize the state of gratitude in which my heart is enveloped, I immediately embrace the Grace of God! I would never know true gratitude if it were not for God’s grace.

My relationship with God grows over the years, the more I attend church and the more I pray to God. There are many stories about returning to faith, one of the stories can be found in the bible and it discussed how the Jews were able to return to Jerusalem since they were exiled in Babylon (FIE 46). There are some individuals in the world who feel that they need to leave their religion because they no longer feel safe in the religion that they are currently practicing (FIE 48). I feel very safe in practicing my Catholic religion, maybe because that is what I grew up knowing and believing in, especially because my grandmother is very religious because she prays every day. When I attend church I feel that I am in the presence of God and that
Never drown your self in sorrow for what you cannot control. You cannot run from hard times, the struggle will find you always, but how you embrace and push through struggle creates character. My struggle built my character. A character that can play in any scene in my life, because I'm mentally equipped with the attitude to keep on going. Now look at me! Graduating a semester early.

I first learned to be a Christian from my parents. They took me to Sunday School and “preaching” on Sunday mornings when I was young. They made sure I was involved in the youth group and children’s and youth choirs while growing up. They taught me to say a blessing before every meal, and they laugh when I still occasionally break into our traditional “God is great, God is good . . .” version of grace I learned as a child. My parents were also the ones who taught me to ask for God’s help when I am in need of something or worried about an issue as well as to give God praise for all of the blessings in my life. My grandparents also helped further my Christian education. My Grandmother Hall made an impact on my understanding of church because she was very opinionated about what her preacher should and should not be preaching about from the pulpit. Her opinions caused me to think about what I believed in and why I believed that way. My family was very important to my upbringing in the church.
I am immensely thankful for someone who has been right beside me through all the peaks and valleys of life...my dog. These wonderful pets are intelligent, loyal, caring, and have been scientifically proven to boost the mental health of several. In other words, they stop at nothing to augment a person’s happiness. All dogs offer amazing companionship as they are always ecstatic to accompany me on any task, for example, going on a walk outdoors or even just lounging around at home. Also, I am thankful how growing up with a pet has strengthened my responsibility skills.
The top three thing I am thankful for are my family, friends, and school. My family is the biggest thing that I am thankful for. The reason I am thankful for my family is because they love and care for me. I wouldn't know what I would do if my family didn't love and care for me.
I am grateful for my life in many ways and for many reason, I was born 5 weeks premature and one of twins. Though my twin did not survive long enough for me to know him it gave me a purpose to try new things. Whenever I am scared of a new experience such as snow-boarding I think about how lucky I am to be alive and well. This thought helps me to spread my wings and embrace the unknown. Even simple things make me feel thankful, such as running in the rain or taking a walk with my dog or just a lazy Sunday afternoon with myself makes me think how great it is to be alive and here. I have always delight in the small moments in life and to think that they could never exist for me is depressing. Furthermore, being able to share my thoughts and feeling with people I love is something that brings me great joy.
and faith guide me to try to better myself and get more closer with god. It help me with so many
