Who am I?

For Thanksgiving, I asked all of the older students to write a paragraph about what they are thankful for.

Ketia St. Jacques

I'll like to thank God for giving me life, and he gave me a beautiful place to live on.  I thank to God for school that he give me to learn and study and learn to do right things, and there is a lot of people like me, some of them died, some are sick and lay down in hospital beds.  Me, I am alive isn't because I'm good than them, its because of God.  I want to thank God for a lot of family that he gave me to live with.  I'll thank God for teachers that he gave me and all things that he did for me.  I'll thank God for six special things: 1. For giving me life.  2. For the place I'm living on.  3. My school that I like.  4. For teachers that he give me.  5.  For a lot of sisters and brothers. 6.  For all things that he did for me and he has more to do for me, that's special one.  I know that he died on a cross for my sins, to pay my sins.  I want to thank God for all that things.

Thanksgiving is the time in life when people stop thinking about themselves and start giving thanks to God for all the wonderful things he blesses us with and to share what he has given to us with others.  I'm thanking God for a ton of wonderful things and opportunities he allows me to have in my life because without him alot of things wouldn't have been possible in my life.  First of all I want to thank God for my feet because I'm a person who was born with club feet, even though I could play and a lot of things.  I still felt there was something in me that wasn't quite right.  My friends used to make fun of me though I didn't care.  At this point in my life I didn't know Jesus.  My family didn't have the money to give surgery.  Though I went to many doctors in Haiti all were a waste of time and money so I lived wit it until I was twelve.  When I came to Canaan God provided a way for me to get surgery in the U.S.  Now I'm fine in both foot.  I'm very much thankful for Canaan to God because without Canaan this wouldn't have happened.  Like I said I'm thankful for a ton of things in my life.  If I would take my time to write I would have filled a notebook cause my life is filled with miracles and tons of testimonies.  That's why I sing give thanks with a grateful heart!

I'm so thankful to God because he gave me life today.  He always there to take care of my needs.  I should be thankful to God for the good oxygen that he put on the earth.  We should be thankful to God for giving us the right to go to him.  I'm thankful for the wonderful school that I'm attending, I'm thankful for the beautiful dorm I'm sleeping in, and I'm very thankful for the PACE's that I'm working in.  Because there are lots of children who want to go to school, who want to have a place to sleep, who want to have food to eat, but they can't get them and me I have a school to go to, I have a dorm to sleep in, and have three meals a day.  How thankful should be to God.  He did all those things for me free. I should be thankful to God Always.

Kesmy St. Louis

I thank God for my life.  I see that I still being alive.  Also for taking me out of the hospital.  Thank God so much for teaching me to write with my mouth and for all the balance that He give me when I playing soccer.  I thank God for all the activities that he lets me do with my foot and mouth even I tell some people what I can do with my foot they won't believe me.  I thank God for all the stuff he had order people to give to me people I don't even know are helping me, this is his blessing.  I thank God for taking me out of the hands of the Devil and he put me in a light that will never turn into darkness.  I thank God for making me do what is right if I'm even taking the rest of my life to explain what God has done for me I will never finish.  There is much much more things I didn't write but I think you know so.

I'm thanking God for all he done in my life.  Dear God thank you for all you done in my life.  He done alot of things for me, even I was take 10,00 years I will not finish explained to you.  He put me in a place that I feel very very good, he keep me safe and he make me passed the year without being in a doctors bed.  I'm going to thank him for not letting me without food.  Some people doesn't find food to eat, it a grace if he give me food to eat.  That most thing he did for me and you its when he died on the cross for me.  They spank him, they spit in his face, they nails his hands for me so I'm going to thank him for that.  Sometime when I look at the universe I feel his live forever, and promised me, he come back to get his children.  And he is always watching over me even I'm a sinner he keep me safe.  Thank you God helping me in the school.

Edgard Miliace

I'm thankful to God.  God has done so many things in my life this year, that this small paper wouldn't be enough to write all of the things that he has done for me.  But anyway, I will share with you one of the enormous things He has done for me.  God opened a door for me and a couple of other kids to participate in the "International Convention" that was organized in Lynchburg Virginia.  He made all possibilities for us to travel all the way up there.  One of my events was soccer kick.  I never think that I would have won a medal of 5th place in Soccer Kick, because I only had a month of practice.  When I got on the field God made me do it the way I suppose to do it.  That is one of the reasons I'm so thankful to God.

Jobens Moleon

I'm thankful because God take care of me.  He didn't let me sick to go to an hospital and he bless me with a family in Canaan.  He inspired life in me.  During all my life on earth I will worship Him.  If I start to write what God has done fore me, I won't finish.

Betty Villard

First I think He saved me from sleeping all the year right.  What I can think of again is I was going somewhere in a bus he saved me from an accident.  What I can think of again its when I was very very sick.  That I was so sick that worm came from my nose and almost died and he saved me.  He saved me from everything.  He has done a great thing for me that when he died on the cross for me and they spank him all those things was for me so I could be free to serve Him.  That all I can think of and I am going to thank Him for.

Priscilla Mecklembourg
