I am thankful for clean water. Billions of people on this earth have no clean drinking water.
I am thankful for food. Millions of people go each day without food. 3 million of them are children
I am thankful for my next breath. Evry 3 seconds someone on this earth dies from hunger.
I am thankful to live in America.
I am thankful for the freedom to practice my faith, gather in a public place and worship God without fear of being thrown in jail or shot and killed.
I am thankful for my Bible. Many Christians in this world cling to the one little verse or scrap of paper torn from a Bible.
I am thankful to be able to express my thoughts and feelings without fear.
I am thankful for our soldier who go days, months, and sometimes years without being with their family, loved ones, & children. Who lay their life on the line everyday so that I may have these freedoms.
I am thankful to have such luxeries as shoes, clothes, ice cream, a roof over my head. Millions of people will never know such luxeries.
I am thankful for my job and to earn what I do. Most people on this earth are lucky to make $1 a day and they most likely work harder then I do.
Did you know that the amount of money American's spend on ice cream in a year could cloth, feed, and give medical attention to the world.
What are you thankful for?
