What does Thanksgiving mean to you?

Thanksgiving is an opportunity to stop and thank God for all we have and those we love. I'd appreciate hearing from each of you. What does Thanksgiving mean to you? How do you plan to celebrate this Thanksgiving? Do you have any wish or hope or blessing for each other this Thanksgiving?

To me Thanksgiving is a breath of
fresh air. It is a time to be with your family, even at least one time a year, to reminisce and remember the times you have shared.

Thanksgiving to me is a time of reflection to reflect on how fortunate we are and to pray for those who are less fortunate. This Thanksgiving I plan to celebrate it with my family in Long Island. This Thanksgiving I hope that all are safe.

Thanksgiving to means a time of sharing and understanding. It also means a time for families all over the world to a lot of food .
Being thankful mean a great deal to me because, not everyone has had the things that others had .
god has all ways given us things such as life and forgivness in our hearts and mind.

I believe Thanksgiving is very important. Thanksgiving is a time designated to giving thanks to God for all that we have and all we have been blessed with. A time where we can all get together and appreciate our loved ones' company.

Thanksgiving means exactly what it states. Thanks and Giving! A time where you give thanks for every thing you have and dont have because God has a plan for you. Its also a time of Giving to those less fortunate. Besides the moral part of thanksgiving it is a time to relax and spend quality time with family near and far. Lets not forget the best part of it al...FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the end it is all about giving thanks and enjoying life while preparign for advent and the coming of the one who made this all possible, JESUS CHRIST!!

Thanksgiving is the best holiday for me. Its the time when you can give back to your community and your friends and family. Thanksgiving to me means love, care, joy, happiness, and forgivness to those you love. This Thanksgiving I will pray for any family,any individual who lost a love one or someone who doesn't have a family to eat and laugh with around the table.

To me Thanksgiving is a time to get together with family and loved ones so that you can appreciate everything that God has given you. To me Thanksgiving is very important because it is a time where you let go of the busy world around you and you come together with family and friends and realize what the most important things in your life are.

The holiday Thanksgiving is a very cherishable time of the year. There are a couple of things that I enjoy or mean the most to me during Thanksgiving. These things are family, friends, food, being blessed, and bonding time. Family and friends mean the most to me during this time because I am surrounded with people who love me and people who I love dearly. The food is always a plus! Being blessed does not always include the material things life has to offer but the people I am blessed to have in my life. Bonding time is very special because life is too short not to enjoy someone's company or presence, especially on a Holiday.

To me thanksgiving is a time for family and friends or loved ones to come together and give thabks for all that they have and will have in the future. it is also a time to thank god for most important his love and your family because besides the closest thing people to you and god you have nothing and would be nothing. this thanksgiving im going to spend time with different family members and thank god for giving me these special people in my life. I wish and hope everyone has a blessed thanksgiving and can get together with all the people that are special to them and give thanks to god for that and many more. I also wish that they can find peace and happyness in their lives and their family.

Thanksgiving to me is a time in which our family comes together to set aside a day to just give thanks to God who has done so much for us. In my family we usually get together and eat the most delicious food and play games aswell and take the time to thank God for everything that has happened in this blessed year. I pray that everybody will be able to have a blessed and safe holiday with their families.

Thanksgiving is a chance to reflect on the many blessings of the past year, and to give thanks to God and to those around us who help us experience His love. This year, I will share the day with some co-workers who have been a source of blessings during some difficult times.

The Junior Class seems to be right on target with their own reflections. Enjoy the day with your families and friends!

Thanksgiving to me means that it is a time for your family and friends to gather together. It is a time of giving...more than recieving. It is a time when you are thankful for what you have, also being grateful for God.

Thanksgiving to me means spending time with family that you probably havent gotten the chance to see much during the year. Its a time to have fun and catch up on events that have happened in your family and celebrate. Its also a good time to give thanks for what you have and the people that surround you all year round.

Mrs. Christy said...

One of the things I am most thankful for is being able to work with the Class of 2010. You set high academic and personal goals for yourselves and, most often, work hard to reach them. Every day brings another way you make me laugh, smile or teach me something new. You make being at work something to look forward to. I will be at JoAnne's on Thursday, playing with the little guys, and will remember you in our family prayer.

Unknown said...

Thanksgiving for me isn't really about being thankful for food or other material things like shelter. Instead for me Thanksgiving is another chance to gather with your family and remember lost loved ones. It's a chance to think of spirtual things that are dear to us in our hearts.
