Thanksgivings from Kenya

Since Thanksgiving is an American holiday, I don't like making my kids "celebrate" it. So, I made a "showers of blessings" bulletin board, and my students wrote down their blessings on raindrops. This is rainy season, so we're thanking God for our blessings in our own way. I like reading them, so I thought you might too.

from 8th grade:
-Thank you God for rain and life
-I have a nice warm home with a roof over my head. I am thankful I have good Christian friends and I can go to a Christian school.
-Really good friends at school
-Thank you for you gave me opportunity that I can study English in Kenya.
-my parents
-thank you Lord for giving me a family
-I am thankful for my mom and dad because they care for me and I'm thankful for my goofy sister
-I'm thankful for the people I get to know at WNS, and other place in Kenya : )
-giving me awesome friends and the gift of life!
-I thank God for reassuring me that I am safe and should not fear because he is with me like this Al-Shabaab thing. God loves me :)
