I think That thanksliving means to thank God 24 7, 365 days a year! We should be very thankful for what we already have, not be like,
"I want this! I want that!" Try getting into a routine. Pray to God every night before you go to bed saying how thankful you are. That way you can truly be thanksliving!

No, We should be thankful to God all our lives!! To do it you have to always be thankful for what you have. Never be whining for what you don't have! If you're always whining how are you going to show that you're a Christian!!! To spred the word of God. You can spred the word of God by using your talents to glorify God.

We should always thank God all year 365 days as long as we live. We should also thank him not only in your home and at church but in public. Pray and thank God for this good food you have if you go out to eat! Living a life of thanksliving to God means to praise him day and night in your homes at churh even in public praise him for all you have! You can praise God and thank him by praying at night at lunch any time in the day thanking him for what you have. Like a lot of people don't have computers to play games on. There are a lot of people that can't aford to go to a Christian School, or don't even have a roof over their heads. That is why we need to thank him and if we do this God will reward us in heaven and knowone wants to be freinds with a greedy person it's no fun you just always want more. Now remember live your life by thanksliving.

What it means is you have to pray every day.And go to church every sunday.And you have to be thankful for all that God has blessed you with. And that he sent his son to die on the cross to save us. I am so thankful that God made me and the world.I am thankful for every thing he has blessed me with like t.v.'s and electronics.You have to pray 365 days a year.And thank him for everything.

I am so thankful to God that he made me and that I... I am so thankful to God that he made me and that I could breath.Thanksliving means in my words is that you should be thankful for everything you have and you should be thankful 365 days a year.And not say like I want that or I want that just be thankful for what you have.Because some people don't even have a home.And try your best to show your christianity because people who aren't christians would just say it's no different being a christian so I'll just stay this way.So try your best to show htat your a christian.God is so awesome. Amen

We are supposed to be thankful every day of our life. Not just Thanksgiving, BUT ALL OUR LIVES!!! That means you have to be thankful for what you have and not want what others have. Be thankful for who you are. If someone is better at something or looks better, be thankful for how God made you! Think of some little things in life to be thankful for, such as being able to brush your teeth. Or washing and brushing your hair. You are so used to them that maybe you don't remember how life would be without them. If you couldn't brush your teeth, wouldn't it be horrible? Your teeth would be a brownish-green and you would have alot of toothaches. If you couldn't brush your hair, It would be in a huge snarly mob. Those are things we can be thankful for. I would want to give thanks to God because he would bless me and I would praise him for those things, too. I also think we should because if we just whine and want more, we won't be happy and just get more. Then we would want more, and so on. I think we should be thankful because we should not throw a fit if we cannot get what we do not have. That is a sin. If you want a toy and it is 100$, ect, and your mom says no, just say okay. And if she points out a smaller toy say okay or no thank you. If you know she will say no because it is too much money, don't say anything at all. I could do this by following the examples that I listed and praying that God would help me do it. Thank God 24/7, 7 days a week, every week per month, 365 days a year, 366 days a leap year and.... well I think you get the point!!!

Me to Nater it would probaly need a lot of ink if we had to type it and print it. God has given us everything we need and more.

" What is Thanksliving?" I think we should prais God every day not just one day a year. We can prais God by singing,dancing reading the bible and praying to him.I think another way to prais god is to not want aneything your friends have and not want to be diffent then you are.So you should like the way you look and not want to change any
thing that god made you special the way you are.

You don't celebrate Thanksgiving one day a year. Thanksgiving is a time to praise God with your family. Well every day is a time to praise God. Thanksliving is were you live your life in thanks. You live your life praiseing God. 24 7 God is with you. thanking God for food,water and many other things God gave us. 365 days a year God will always be there for you. Thanksgiving is a time were you can not work and sped time with your family. When you don't get something you want you might say to God why didn't you give me that? When you start to plam others you stay in that habit and you say I didn't get cought this time so you start liying to someone. God does not like it when you liy. God does like it when you tell the truth. When your a kid and a grownup takes the plam for you it does not come down on your sholders it comes down on the grownups sholders. So take the plam for yourself.

Hola (that's spanish for hi).I just want to talk to you about what thanksliving really means.We aren't only sopussed to give thanks to God only one day a year.To live a life of Thanksgiving means to be appriecaitive and thankful for all the things that God has given us.Plus we should always give thanks to God if we're in church or maybe even on vacation!We should give thanks to him for everything, even the little things that we sometimes barely even notice.You can show this by giving offerings at church.Or even just by playing with someome who doesn't have that many of friends.Or baking cookies for a new neighbor that just moved in.I hope that you will do some of this stuff when you get home or maybe even at school.I also hope that you're seeing that there are many ways to give thanks to God and that these are just some of the ways to show it.So I want it to be you're challenge that you do today or any day to show that you are very thankful to God and maybe even do one of the things that I wrote down.Well,until next time I write,Bye.

To live a life thankfuly you sould be thankful for what you have. To sho that you are glad for what you have you can pray to God. God has blessed you with so many thinngs he sent his only son to die on the cross for us. God gave you life he gave you good parents that love you. When you live thankfuly you dont do it one day on thanksgiving but 365 days a year 366 days on leep year.
