The reason for the season

10 Reasons for the Season (Thanksgiving)

1. To thank the Lord for your good fortune throughout the year.
-Every year we start by waking up and gathering together as a family to pray in the morning, thanking God for blessing us the previous year. Every other chance we get to thank God, we take it. The day before Thanksgiving, we make a list of 20 things we are most greatful for.
2.Gather with family, and loved ones.
-My family and my close friends get together to enjoy eachother's company. We always have a great time not only eating the food, but also preparing it and cleaning up together.
3.Traditions.
-Traditions are a huge part in my family. We always decorate the house, have a Thanksgiving party, and cook for our guests.
4.Food
-Our food each year consists of a turkey, glazed ham, cranberry sauce, stufing, rolls, potatoes, and corn. Along with an amazing secret family recipe for gravy.
5.Friends.
-I make sure to thank my good friends for always being there for me in times of need.
6.Enemies
-I try and make peace with the people I have gotten into fights with.
7.Church
-Our church has an annual "Rake and Run", where we go and rake leaves for elderly people who cannot rake their own leaves, then we run away so that they never knew who did it.
8.Happiness
-Even if something is buggin me, I try and put a smile on my face and make the day as pleasent as possible.
9.Love
-I try and love as much as i can that day. I don't pick fights and I let little irritating things slide.
10.Sharing
-Anything that is mine, I will gladly share with someone in need. I am not stingy and I try my best to do what Jesus would have wanted me to do.
