It's Thanksgiving Week. Every day this week I would like to focus on posting my thanksgiving list. In one of my classes, I asked my students to write a paragraph about what they are thankful for. Starting with an outline, I modeled writing the paragraph for them.
This Thanksgiving season, I am thankful that I am fortunate to live in a comfortable home. My shelter is warm, inviting and large enough to accomodate guests who I invited to stay with me. Living in a safe neighborhood, I feel secure when I am home in my sweet little cottage. When I look around my house, I remember the people in Haiti and Central Java who have no homes because their abodes have been completely destroyed by earthquakes and volcano eruptions. In my safe, secure shelter, I have hot water and heat all the time. Certainly, I am blessed! Every day of the year, I thank God for my safe and pleasant home.
Yes, I am thankful for my home!

I agree 100%. We have so much to be thankful for here its easy to take it for granted. I think its great we have this time of year to reflect on things we are thankful for.
I totally agree....I am so thankful for my house, my heat and hot water...all things I often take for granted. we are blessed in this country, poor economy or not....compared to soooo many others....
Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING...I couldn't find your FFF....
Wonderful example of a great paragraph and of course a great list of things to be thankful for...
It's easy to get caught up in the whole decorating thing and forget that we are so lucky to just have a warm, safe place to lay our heads every night. I thank God for this every night when I pray with my kids!
