Bad Weather

submitted by Matt S. - Recently, tornadoes ravaged the southern states.  Hundreds are dead and thousands more have lost everything.  It is a good time for us to reflect on how lucky we are when things in our lives are stable and safe.  Think about your life.  What do you appreciate most?  What are you most thankful for?

I think it is a good time to be thanksful for the things we take for granted everyday because they do not have the simple things that we use everyday, but they need and do not have. Therefore, we should be thankful for the things we have.

I definitely think it's a good time to be thankful for what we have. Today is Mother's Day, and it's a day to thank your mom for what she does, and same with Father's Day. I'm thankful for my parents because they do so much for me, and yet I don't thank them enough, all of you probably don't do it enough either, and maybe some don't even thank them for the things they do. I think that's a good example of what we should be thankful for. Others include a house, food, water, clothes, education, tons of things that we don't realize are valuable until we think about the people who don't have these things. Therefore, because the tornadoes are taking things away from people that we have and take for granted, this is a great time to be thankful for what we have.

I definitely appreciate having a healthy family and a safe house to live in. The people that have been struck by these tornadoes basically have neither. Their family members are either lost, hurt or even dead, and their homes are destroyed so they have no place to live. I can't imagine being in that position so I am very thankful for what I have.

After hearing about all of this news, i am appreciative and thankful for just having a home to live in and family with me. In the south, because of the tornados, many people were killed, which means mayn people lost close family members. Houses were destroyed, and people do not have a place to live or go. Therefore, hearing about all this news makes me thankful that I have a safe place and family to go home to.

I am thankful and appreciative to be able to live in a decent home with my family because there are many people out there who are homeless or do not know their family. For example because of the bad weather in southern states many people have been left homeless and some people might have even lost someone close to them. Therefore i am thankful for having a house and being able to be with my family

I am thankful and appreciative to be able to live in a decent home with my family. That is all that matters to me because family is the most important. They are always there for me. Without family, I would be no where in life.

I think that it is a great time to be thankful for everything that we have because mny people in the south are losing a lot of their houses and fmily members. For example, the tornadoes down southhave killed just bout 500 people recently. Therefore, we should be thankful for eveything that we have.

Its really sad that a lot of people have lost everything they have and at the same time its scary to think about it. Living up in the north stuff like this barely happens to us and we're really lucky. There are so many things in life that I'm thankful for. Some of them are, my friends, my family, my house, car, food and water and other material/essential things.

It was really devastating that so many people lost their lives and houses because of this. I am really thankful for my house and my family & friends. If any of that was taken away from me i wouldnt have an idea of what to do next. If they were all i had left, i would be fine. Without them, i wouldnt.

I'm really thankful that i have a house in Connecticut because we will only have bad weather every other year. The worst weather we will get in CT is a tiny tornado or a bad snowstorm. Therefore, I can really look back on those horrible storms all over the country and be thankful that I am living in Connecticut.

Yes i think it is a good time to reflect and be thankfull fo the things we have atthis time, but i also think we should reflects and be thankful for the things we have at all time. For example my family is not a really religiious family, but we do say grace before dinner everyday and say the things we are thankful for. therefore i think we should be thankful at all time not just when things are going bad for others.

I am most thankful for my family and friends because I know that they are always going to be here for me and I know that they care about me and when I am upset, my friends ate always there to try and make me happy. I definitely appreciate everything I have right now because without what I have, I wouldn't be happy and I appreciate what I have right now. Therefore, I love what I have in my life right now and I am thinkful for it and appreciate it.
