I am grateful for my family! They mean so much to me. I feel loved when I am with them. Sometimes we may disagree or like different things, but I know that no matter what, I can depend on each one. I want to be loving and caring to them in turn, because I know the kindness that I show others comes back to me.

Jesus is an important part of our family too. He is so good to us and takes good care of us. As a family we do our best to show Him our love and joy in knowing Him. He fills our lives with blessings, love, faith, and comfort.

I am thankful for my mommy’s kisses, and her arms that hug me tight. I love the way she cares for me and tucks me into bed. She plays with me, tells me stories, and teaches me what is right. I want to do my best to show her just how much I love her by listening to what she says and following her example.

My daddy is kind and gentle. I know he loves me dearly, and he often tells me so. I want to be more like my daddy—helpful to others, wise, and gentle with his words. When he smiles at me and holds me in his lap, it makes me feel special and thankful for the wonderful daddy I have.

Thanks for my whole family: my sisters and brothers, my uncles, aunts, and cousin, and my grandparents too! All of them make my life a happy one and bring me friendship and joy. I know I’m truly blessed!
