My Favorite Memories Of My Family

During all of the stress and tough circumstances I found that there was so much to be thankful for. Everything around us that is good was made by the Lord and everything he has done for us is more than enough to do everything we can to serve him. I am thankful that I could see behind all of the pain and that he was working things together for our family. There is so much to be thankful for, but I feel like a lot of people have too much pride to see that. That has become my prayer for myself every morning. I bind the spirit of pride off of me every day before walking out the door, because I know if I don’t I will easily fall into sin. The reason I do this is because I love him and I don’t want to grieve his Holy Spirit whom rests inside of me. That is the whole reason for this season which is, to be thankful for what you have and not spend meaningless energy focusing on what you don’t have. There are people in this world who know God that have nothing, yet they are happier than the people who feel like they have everything. The poorest people on this earth have learned to be content with what they have. They don’t need money and stuff to be happy because

Everyday I thank God and life for having a roof on top on my head , good health that allows me to work and study, food that I can share ,and a loving family that supports me. Without all these blessing, I would be like many others that unfortunately live without the privileges that I have today. The multiple acts of kindness from my neighbors were the first of many benevolent acts that I’ve witnessed throughout my life. As a result, I’ve reprocreated their altruistic actions by serving others.

Being thankful for what you already posses is essential for living a happy life, as it is healthy to focus on the things you already have and to not focus on the things others have. In the story “Marigolds” by Eugenia W. Collier and the story “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs, both authors gives examples as to why it is important to be thankful for what you already have, and to not dwell on what others might have that you don't.

In conclusion everyday we feel gratitude for something sometimes not even knowing it and it is a big thing in our lives that affects us a lot. People getting something for you, your parents buy you something that you want or just something happens that is just makes you happy and it makes you feel

Gratitude resonates in my mind from time to time. I remember in awe of the stories my family has told me. My mother’s two set of outfits and a single pair of shoes, when they broke, she was forced to walk barefoot. My grandmother’s forced decision to sign over her property, the only other option was a

Grandma and Grandpa are probably some of the most amazing people in the world. I am really blessed to be so close with grandma and grandpa. Both distance wise and relationship wise. I don’t even know where to start. Between all the cooking lessons, rock shows, R.V. shows, birthdays, track meets, concerts, holidays, dinners, snakes, shopping trips and so on I have a lot of ground to cover in not a lot of time. I’ll start with the cooking lessons.

A Lot of people may love shopping or going on long walks on the beach or even go on amazing adventures, but one of the most enjoyable things I love to do with my family is eating. I could eat for days or even months. Every holiday I never miss my mother’s homemade tamales, especially Thanksgiving. Just when I take a bite, the tamale breaks apart in my mouth. When my mother makes home made burritos,the rice and the beans just taste super delicious and the cheese melts right in my mouth. Sometimes my mother would make some menudo with lots of love in it. I would put some lemon juice to make it sour and onions to give it that flavor.

Thanksgiving is more than just a day off or a break from school, it’s more than just a holiday. It’s more than just stuffing your face with mash potatoes and turkey. It's a time to fellowship and give thanks. This year has brought about multiple challenges, but we have stayed faithful and strong as a family. There is nothing more powerful than our family. God has blessed me with such a solicitous family.

Our grandparents took all of the sides to the meal to the main table one by one. The green beans, the rolls, the sweet potatoes, the mac’n’cheese, and the stuffing all filled the room with decadent smells. All of these sides filled up the table to the point where the was only room for the turkey. Now we were ready for grace. It is a tradition for our grandparents to write a grace for Thanksgiving meal. The grace went as: “Thanks for the family, Thanks for the feast,Thanks for existence, and Thanks for the yeast.”. Even though the grace was a joke, it made me think deeper about Thanksgiving. It made me think of the true meaning. I realized that Thanksgiving is should be celebrated not as a holiday before christmas, but as a holiday to be grateful about everything you have in life and who you have in life. I enjoyed thanksgiving feast and the rest of thanksgiving with a new found enjoyment and happiness with my

Thanksgiving has brought people together since America was colonized. It is a time for giving and counting your blessings. During this season, we should spend time with family and give thanks. I am thankful for many things in life. One of those things is my family. My family provides for me, nurtures me, and loves me. I am so grateful to my whole family but especially to my parents, because without them, I would not be here. My dad, no matter what the time, always lightens the air with a joke. Somehow he always puts a smile on my face and, up until now, i didn’t realize how important that is. My mom is the most hardworking person I know. She is up early in the morning on her computer and still manages to make breakfast and pack our lunches. Although the stress of having a full time job is tough, she still always My brother always wants me to play with him. From video games on Saturday mornings to reading with me at night, we

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

“Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot.” As said in www.verybestquotes.com is a perfect example of why thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, thanksgiving is the day when most people enjoy and appreciate what they have, they get together with family give to others in need like food to eat and many other goods. But the main reason I picked thanksgiving is because of the food, thanksgiving for me is described as all my favorite foods put together into one day. Thanksgiving for me is usually wake up go to twelve clock mass, at one PM we arrive at my grandma’s house at one thirty PM I start to eat and after that it gets scary.

Have you ever thought about how many people are poor? Dolly Parton from the “coat of many colors” dolly was constantly thankful because she loved her coat that her mom made for her, she was bullied at school but stood her ground, and she was eternally thankful even though she was poor.

I believe there are many traits in life that make you a good person and lead you to live a happy life, but being grateful is one of the best traits you could obtain. Being grateful is one thing I feel many people in our society forget to do. One day I learned to always appreciate what I have instead of what I don’t.

There are certain memories that we have that we can remember like they happened yesterday. Many of those memories that have special meaning to me were of family vacations when I was young growing up with my brothers and sisters. Family memories are important to many of us because they take us back to a time or place that was special. One particular family vacation I remember vividly, and it’s a story I have shared with my kids on many occasions. Over the 40 or more years since that memorable vacation, I still smile and think how lucky I was growing up with a mother and father that did everything to give their kids an unforgettable memory.
