Well, today is thanksgiving…And I just feel….miserable.
My parents have told me so many times that I should be thankful for having such a “great family” like them, but the words will never come out of my mouth. Thanksgiving is a holiday where people show they are thankful for people, things, lives, etc. In my opinion, some people take things for granted. Think about someone in your life who has everything they want, for me, it would be my cousin. She has a wonderful life; the perfect parents, all the food she can eat, and so much more. But she just turns to her parents and asks for more. Now think about someone you know who has nothing, but never asks for anything. For me, that would be one of my friends. She has been in and out of foster homes for 11 years, but everyday she looks at the world and smiles. I have noticed that she always prays for everyone else to be happy, but never herself. I admire her so much. Thinking about all that could go wrong in life, I want to remember the simpler times in childhood; where everything was okay. Some people arent as fortunate as I am. While my family might be absolutely terrible, I have a roof over my head, a computer, and food to eat on days like today. While this may just be a way to express my feelings, I just want to say I am thankful for the good and bad things, because without them, I wouldnt be who I am today…

that is so true and i feel for your friend i am amazed that she has been threw that and can still smile. i have a question for you have you ever just went up to her and asked her if thing are really ok because that makes me think that she might need some to talk to i pray for everyone else and there are just times where i want someone to tell me that they really worry about me and that if you ever need to talk i am hear because her smile might be hiding something you might want to think of that
I really worry about her, because she never explains what has really gone on in her life. I never have asked her, because im not sure how to ask her.
well if you dont know how just say look i dont know how to ask this but i am worryed about you so hear it is whats going on with you will you plz tell me i really want to know o and if she trust you and tells you mostly you shouldnt tell others because we dont like that because when they comeyup to me i always start off plz dont tell anyone
hey you should reed my post about thanksgiving u might understand because i understand yours lol
Your friend is an amazing girl, if you really want to know how she can pray for everyone else, just ask her. You will find her to be probably the most open person to talk about why she loves and prays for everyone else besides herself. And if she says something like God loves me, Jesus loves me, or something else, ask her to explain. All I know is that it is the people that ask the questions that really care. They don’t wait and wonder… I found your post beautiful by the way, but I believe your Thanksgiving will be even more beautiful knowing why your friend has such a kind heart for people. Go for it dude 🙂 You are a blessed person to have someone that would pray for you and not ask for something in return. Most people in America DON”T HAVE THIS.
