Thankful Thanksgiving Thoughts

I was volunteering in Will's classroom today, and while I was waiting outside the classroom door to be called in, I notice the class's Thanksgiving artwork display called Thankful Thanksgiving Thoughts.  So I'm reading through all of the wonderful things Will's friends are thankful for...my family, my home, my church, love, my pet, rainbows...and I finally find Will's artwork display.

Will is thankful for....

CHICKEN?!?!

And why am I not surprised?!?!  I can't tell you how much joy and laughter our boy brings into our lives!  He is so funny!

I'm standing there laughing hysterically when Mrs. B walks out into the hallway to get me.  I turn to her and say, "Mrs. B, we are thankful for CHICKEN!"  Mrs. B agrees that it is a great response.  And then points out her favorite one that I had not seen yet.  Just to the right of Will's artwork is another little boy's Thankful Thought.

McKale is thankful for....

God and BONES!

Mrs. B said that she asked him "Bones?", and he looked at her seriously and said, "Yes, bones."  So she asked him again "Bones?", and he reached over and touched her forearm and said, "Yes, bones.  You know (while he is gently squeezing her arm) bones!"   Well, okay!  God and Bones!

So this Thanksgiving season, let's remember to count ALL of our blessings!
