Thanksgiving, Part 2: One-Word Thanks

Today, I asked everyone following me on Twitter and my Facebook friends to think of one word to sum up one major thing they were thankful for this Thanksgiving. I got some interesting responses. This past Sunday in my children's ministry, we asked the same thing of the kids and got some interesting answers. One kid even said, "Plants." It was hard not to laugh when he said it with such a straight face. This kid really liked plants.

So, here are some of the one-word responses I got back:

* Health

* Job

* Plants (2 more times - I'm starting to think they were copying the kid I mentioned)

* Life

* Faith

* Change (don't know if they were referring to Obama's win or if they received a few quarters)

* Bush (this one probably wasn't thankful for 'Change')

* iPhone

* Laughter

* Trees (okay, people, stop playing off the kid comment.)

* Hope (that one was mine)

* Starry Skies (this one cheated, but was original enough I had to include it)

* Others (don't know if this one meant other 'people' or just other things nobody included - if it's people, that's cool; if it's just a lazy way of saying 'whatever anyone didn't say' - that's cheating and it should be disqualified.)

*I am grateful for my parents who will be taking Grace for the afternoon tomorrow! Not one word, but oh well. (this wasn't one word, but was from my wife - who had had a very stressful day with our kids)

These were all thankful people. What are you thankful for? Think of one word to sum it up and comment below.
