Sam's Thanks

Sam did a project recently for school where he was asked to talk about things he was thankful for. What follows is his completed project...written on a turkey I might also add...

I'm thankful for so many things. I'm most thankful for my family, my country and my religion.

I am thankful for my family because they have never done me any wrong. My parents are really nice. My sisters are too. My big sister plays the guitar and is pretty good. The only problem is that she plays it at ten o clock and night!

I am thankful for my country because of the freedom we have. Our government does so many great things for us! They give us jobs and protection. The also help other countries by providing medical care and food. My cousins' husband works in Korea and teaches people how to drive tanks.

The last thing I'm thankful for is my religion. My family goes to a Methodist church. My dad works as a youth group minister. He teaches 6th graders to 12th graders. I enjoy going to Sunday school with best friend Jared. Every Sunday night I go to youth group with my dad. Afterwards we play dodgeball. Surprisingly, I'm always the last one standing! Instead of going to the traditional service we go to CnC. It's a service where our church band plays 6 or 7 songs.

In conclusion, the 3 things I'm most thankful for are my family, my country and my religion.

I am perfectly happy with my life.
