Being happy is important. Blessings lead to happiness. Being thankful leads to both. Having a grateful heart is one of the things that brings you to Heaven because it is a righteous. In the Bible, God even says that we should devote ourselves to thankfulness. I am particularly thankful for my parents, who are patient and spend precious time with me. Since I enjoy eating, I’m also appreciative of abundant yummy food.

Thankfully, my Mom and Dad provide everything I need. I receive healthy food, a warm house, entertaining games, and a quality education. Since I live in an extremely safe neighborhood, I can wander in the woods as much as I want. My parents give me a terrific bed so I can lie down and pull the cozy blankets over my body, which is cold and fatigued like a hiker in Antarctica. My Dad works hard to earn money, and my Mom homeschools us. Although I have to clean the house and sometimes get frustrated over schoolwork, my Mom is often patient with me and usually helps me. Throughout the week, I can sometimes play video games with my Dad and my brothers as a reward. I’m profusely happy that my Mom and Dad are so nice and fun.

Because it’s essential for life and it’s delicious, I’m also grateful for food. Not all people enjoy spicy, weird food, but since my Dad cooks so amazingly, he introduces us to lots of tantalizing flavors. My Mom shops and lets us choose yummy snacks, which we devour like hungry bears eating campers. I’m ecstatic I live near a store and don’t live in Greenland where the first settlers once had tiny amounts of food and were small, but we eat nutrient food to grow tall and strong. We’re treated to cheesy, crispy pizza and greasy burgers that melt into my mouth. When my Grandmother comes to visit, she buys us creamy, delectable ice cream. On top, we smother it with chocolate sprinkles, whipped cream, and chewy, gooey gummy worms.  Fortunately, the food is awesome and is abundant where I live.

My Mom and Dad selflessly provide everything I need. In life, food is necessary for survival, and it tastes finger-licking good. Most importantly, my parents sacrifice for me. I like food, and I’m fortunate that I get to eat lots of fun flavors. Since not all kids have nice parents, I’m grateful that I have a Mom and Dad who love me and give me plenty of food to eat. Because of these thing, I feel blessed.
