The Sunday before Thanksgiving, part of our youth group lesson was on… you guessed it… giving thanks to God. After the lesson/activity, we took time to write out some of the things the group is thankful for. Some of the things that were written down ended up being a lesson to me as well, so I thought I’d share. The list below includes the 152 unique entities in no particular order (repeats are noted). They came up with these in just four minutes. Some of them surprised me, some of them didn’t, and some of the ones you’d probably think that I wrote, I actually didn’t. Except for the most egregious errors, I left the spelling alone (as evidenced by #112, among others). Enjoy.
