Are you as thankful as a 1st grader?

Luke brought home a Thanksgiving book he made at school yesterday. I was amazed when he read it to me. Thought I would share (spelling was corrected):
-------------------------
What I am thankful for
by Luke

I am thankful for electricity because if we did not have electricity there would be no computers and lights.

I am thankful for turkey because we can celebrate with it.

I am thankful for school because some kids do not get to go to school.

I am thankful for Christopher Columbus because he discovered America.

I am thankful for the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Marines because they go to battle for us so we can have freedom.

I am thankful for houses because some people have to sleep on streets.

I am thankful for food because some people do not have food.

I am thankful for TV because then we would not get to watch the weather.

I am thankful for me because I love myself.

I am thankful for my clothes because some people don't have clothes.
-------------------------

Wow, I was amazed how someone just 7 years old could be so wise, and of course proud that my son was so insightful. I think I am thankful for Luke reminding me why we should all be thankful.
