1. An experience that I’m grateful for is when my friends cheered me up when I was having the worst week of my life. I felt really down and had no one to turn to, luckily my friends were there to encourage me and make me happy. I don’t know how I’ll be able to ever repay them.

2. God gave us life and importance. We should be grateful for him because without him, we wouldn’t be on this Earth today. God also gave us the blessings that we have and that is why we should be grateful for him, and even if we have made loads of mistakes, he will always be there for us if we believe that we did wrong and we pray.

1. Growing up, I was never close with my mom. Therefore, I had always felt some fear, nervousness, and the need to impress her. But, last August of 2020, she invited me to come with her to work which, at first, made me feel extremely uncomfortable. However, as I spent more time with her at her work, I grew to appreciate her. I realize that we weren't close because she was so busy caring for us and due to  that very day, I learned to appreciate every single thing inside my life. I realized how blessed I was to be able to go to school, eat more than 3 meals a day, not worry about where I'll sleep at night, etc.

2. I believe that it is important to be grateful to God because it helps keep us happy as being appreciative of the blessings that many may perceive as small or insignificant are what brings joy in our lives. For the person that's unable to be grateful for the little things in life, happiness is impossible for them. Therefore, I believe that being grateful is something we should practice and, if possible, prioritize in life.

1.) I once watched an advertisement where a little girl wrote a short poem about her father as a project for school. In the first sentences the girl writes how wonderful her dad is, but at the very end she says that he lies about how he feels. The girl writes in the poem that her dad lies about not being hungry, about not being tired from his work. Ever since I watched that video it made me realize that I don't actually know what my parents have to go through everyday at work. I became more grateful for the things they do and give me.

2.) Being grateful to God is important because if it wasn't for him, everything from our family, friends, and the things we have would not exist.

1. One experience that I had that has made me feel grateful was when I attended a mass with my family one time. The homily was something that held on to me knowing that my troubles at that time were temporary and the father told us that we should never worry or overthink instead we should learn to over trust god. He said make god bigger than you, your problems, and listen to what he has instore for you. It was warming and grateful in a way knowing that I will never be alone and he will always be there to help and guide me.

1. I always feel grateful whenever I prayed for something and God answered that prayer. Of course being grateful for the little things like waking in the morning, having a roof above my head, and having a comfortable bed to sleep on every night are some of the things that I am totally  grateful for, but there is a really big difference whenever I am grateful for the answered prayers and blessings that happens to me.                                                         2.  Being grateful to God can also be a way of showing gratitude and thankfulness to God. It shows our humbleness, our humility towards God. A simple thank you to God to start the day is will make your day lighter and with strength.

1. For me, just being able to wake up every morning is a source of gratitude because God has given you another chance to live your life and another day to serve and benefit others. I also feel grateful for this because there are probably hundreds or thousands of other people that don't have this opportunity, making this another reason to be even more grateful to be alive.

2. Being thankful to God is extremely important because he is the one who created all. He gave us our own unique gifts and distinct qualities, and in exchange, we must use and cultivate them for the good of others, as well as to bless others. You will be rewarded by God in the future if you use your talent for good.

1. What experience have you had that has made you feel grateful?

Every moment has given me a positive and negative outcome. Without these, I may have not been the person I am today. Sure some experiences gave you trauma but it also tests you your strength and just how strong you can overcome such obstacles. Time was given by God to us and he has assumed that we make every day worth it.

2. Why is being grateful to God important?

He gave us life and without him, we wouldn't be here right now. He gave us talents and it's such a gift no one can ever give you. God has always been beside you since we were children and forever. He has seen our ups and downs and helped us overcome those. It's not that "it's just right that we are grateful to him" since that sounds so force. Instead, we have to be thankful wholeheartedly and sincerely that you were touched by his doings.
