A seven year old's Thanksgiving message

As we sit down to enjoy the delicious food, we thank God for our life and our family.

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year. We celebrate this day because we should be grateful to others. But most importantly on that special day, we also thank God.

We celebrate Thanksgiving in different ways. Families meet together and have splendid meals. As we sit down to enjoy the delicious food, we thank God for our life and our family so we will continue to have a good future. We thank Him by praying and we thank others by making them happy which makes us feel happy. At Thanksgiving, we celebrate with other people to spread joy. When Thanksgiving is over, we still should pray to God every day.

Whenever I, as an Ahmadi Muslim girl meet others, I wish them blessings so that there is more happiness and no disruption and madness in the world.
