Blessings To Be Thankful For Reading Books By Myles Munroe

There are so many things to be thankful for in my life. For instance, I am thankful for God giving me the opportunity to live the life I have. I’m also thankful for growing around my family and friends, because they are the ones that have molded my personality.

I am grateful for God who blessed me with a wonderful family that are willing to go drastic measures for me to experience lifetime opportunities. My experience of a lifetime opportunity was when I traveled out of the country for the very first time with an educational program called People to People Student Ambassadors Program. This program allowed me to travel with high school students from four different states to Greece, Italy, and Sicily for 19 days. My family and I did everything that we could do to raise money for this trip, but God always make a way and for that I'm immensely

I give thanks to my God, always remembering him through the times of hardships, he helps me get up in the

One thing that I am thankful for is my family. They are very encouraging and help me do things. They help me keep trying when I want to give up. They also encourage me to do activities that can positively affect me that I don’t want to do. They are also very caring. They make me the food that I like, they help me monitor my blood sugar and overall health, they provide me with shelter, and they buy me fun things like toys or video games. They also pay for my activities, such as sports and Boy Scouts, and they also attend my games or meetings even if they have better things to do. Overall, my family give me many reasons to be thankful for them.

“Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie first appeared in “The Most Wonderful Books: Writers on Discovering the pleasures of Reading.” Sherman Alexie is a well-known Native American writer that publishes short stories, novels, and poetry. Out of the three narratives, I found myself connect with this story more than the others. Alexie tells us about his childhood as an Indian boy that grew up on the Reservation. His father was a big reader so as a kid he’s always had an interest in books and eventually it became a passion. As he advanced in reading at an early age, peers would have difficulty with the content that he’s already achieved. Other kids would frown upon him because it was out of the ordinary for an Indian to be smart. Children on the Reservation were expected to be unsuccessful, but Alexie refused to let himself fail. Throughout his obstacles in life, he ended up becoming a writer and now, visits the Reservation to make sure children get as much education as possible. Reading saved his life and he believed it could save theirs as well. Sherman Alexie uses multiple techniques throughout his narrative to inform the audience about how he saved his life through literacy by tieing in his personal perspectives.

Every year, there is one day dedicated to giving thanks in America. That day is known as Thanksgiving. In the weeks before, families will make plans to get together with relatives, and decide who will bring what food. On the day of, people will spend the morning cooking. Later, the guests arrive and most likely sit down to wait for food, watching football. These actions are just a few examples of what people are thankful for. As for myself, there are many things I am thankful for, to many to remember or even know. But there are a few main things I am very thankful for.

   I could say yes to having gone through a lot, or I  can say that I have excelled through many life difficulties and give all if that to  God as praise. I prefer the latter because I am here and blessed to be able to do so. I believe in life some things are there to draw us closer to him and teach us, while others are to grow us into who he created us to be. In all of it I can honestly say I am grateful.

Do you look unhappy and unhealthy because you are not thankful to God for your life, faith, family and work?

As a kid, I never really paid attention to what blessings were, in fact, it didn't even cross my mind. I grew up in a small house, with my parents and my sister. We loved to walk around a lot and most of the time we would come across homeless people. It was like a routine of ours that we would always give back to the people less fortunate. I remember as I was walking one day with my mom, we came across an old homeless lady and my mom gave her 20 dollars. We were lucky enough to have that much change left after shopping for food and we decided it would be kind to give it to someone else, but this lady was very different from most homeless people. She had bright neon pink nails, gray hair that would create an ombré effect almost as if she got it done, she took the money we gave

Summarily, I would like to thank God that I obtained TEACH grants for college and owe no student loans. My job also provides full medical coverage so I am good there. There were no speeding tickets, trips to the doctor, or medical emergencies this year so I did not need to pay any co-payments or deductibles. I am also thankful I am not a parent. Life is good. Or so it

I am also thankful for friends. We all hang out and sometimes help out each other with homework. From going surfing on the weekends, to going out to dinner trying super spicy sauces to see who can swallow the most, I am very thankful for my friends. I have known some of my friends since pre-k here at St. Anne and we have exchanged many fun times at the playground and in Daycare after school.

One freedom I’m very thankful for is, the freedom of religion. We in America are lucky to choose our own religion. There are many countries that don’t let you choose your own religion. In some countries as soon as you are born you can only practice one religion. Every time I go to church I’m thankful for the men and women that made it possible

Far too often in our selfish-minded culture, we forget to be thankful for the many blessings we have. There is a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food on the table, and I've never gone hungry. I'm thankful that I am homeschooled; I do not have to deal with bullies at school and I am able to have a more flexible schedule so that I have an increased amount of free time to spend with family. I am also thankful for my little sister and my parents who care for me and work hard to provide me with everything I need and want. In addition, I feel grateful for my artistic and musical talent. However, most of all, I am deeply grateful for my entire family, the warmth, love, and companionship they bring, and my relationship with

I am thankful for money. I am thankful because my family can afford lots of things we need and things we want. I am thankful because we can afford a home, so we’re not sleeping outside and we can be warm and not cold. It’s also

In Dwight MacDonald’s Reading and Though, he disagrees with Henry Luce’s Idea of functional curiosity. Luce coined the term “functional curiosity,” meaning “the kind of searching, hungry interest in what is happening everywhere.” MacDonald’s opinion of functional curiosity is that it only encourages practice in reading rather than giving beneficial information. He considers today’s literature as flimsy and overwhelming. MacDonald assumes that all reading done in today’s society is “shallow thinking.” I agree with MacDonald that there is a great amount of mediocre literature floating around, but he does not take into account the technological advancements, the lifestyles of people today, and students.
