This is a story of a father and son walking together, but from the story, we can see that? You grew up with me and I grew old with you? Touching affection and warmth can be clearly seen in the chest.
Every walk in the story is a metaphor for the different life stages of father and son. At first, the father took his son for a walk together. The son grew up and refused to be close to his father; Later, my father walked with his bent father on his back.
The article said: When I was a child, I came to the hillside with my father. We watched the sun together, and we were very happy at this time. When I got home, my father couldn't walk, so I carried my father behind my back. Dad asked: Is the child heavy? I replied: Yes, a little. I remember what my father said to me before: a caring person will not feel heavy! It's true.

@ Li Wei: My dad, he can lift me with one hand. He is tall, powerful and omnipotent. He has always been my superhero since I was a child. Maybe one day he will grow old, but he will always be the support in my heart.

But Vashti is not an artist. To prove this, she poked a common and angry point on a blank picture. But it was this little spot that activated Vashti's artistic cells a little bit and made him start a journey of self-discovery full of surprises.
In fact, teachers and guides play a vital role. It is lucky to meet such a teacher, so the author wrote the last page for my seventh grade math teacher.

@ Small Cup:
Thanks to my meow, it always follows me every time I come home from work. Whatever I do, look at me intently. Eat a few bites of cat food when you are hungry, and then lick your face while chewing leftovers. Although the smell of cat food almost suffocated me, it felt good to be loved and trusted by a cat at that moment. It seems that they will understand everything you say to it.

The lion fell asleep and a mouse jumped on him. The lion suddenly stood up, grabbed him and prepared to eat him. The mouse begged for mercy and said that if he saved his life, he would repay him. The lion smiled contemptuously and let him go. Soon, the lion was really saved by the mouse.
When the big lion lets go of the little mouse, he only needs to spread his palm gently, without any effort. But the little mouse bit the rope, but it was exhausted! Remember, you can't just say one word, okay? Thank you. That's enough. If the mouse runs to the lion and says. Thank you. Thank you. Oh? Then the lion is still in the net. It takes effort, even a lot! Until the rope is bitten off! This is human nature. This is what people look like. This is the emotion that the little mouse told us. (Mei Zihan)
Thanksgiving must see | Why are you grateful? Who are you grateful to?
First, Thanksgiving Day? The origin of
The origin of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the beginning of American history. 1620, the famous? Mayflower? This ship arrived in America with 102 Puritans who could not bear the persecution of English religion. In the winter at the turn of 1620 and 162 1, they encountered unimaginable difficulties and were hungry and cold. Only 50 immigrants survived.
The kind Indians brought necessities to the immigrants, and specially sent people to teach them how to hunt, fish and grow corn and pumpkins. With the help of Indians, the immigrants finally got a bumper harvest. On the day of celebrating the harvest, the immigrants set a day to thank God and invited them to celebrate the festival together to thank the Indians. Thanksgiving has a history of more than 300 years, and it has been preserved to this day.
Thanksgiving is mainly to express gratitude to God. When the Puritans were blessed in difficult circumstances, they didn't forget that it was God's grace, it was God's blessing, so they especially had Thanksgiving Day to express their gratitude.
Thanksgiving Day, as an annual national holiday, is from 1863 10 10, Abraham? President Lincoln did it? Thanksgiving declaration? It started with. 194 1 year, Congress proposed a motion to change the date of Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday of 1 1 year.
During Thanksgiving, churches often hold Thanksgiving dinners and sermons. Brothers and sisters will seize this opportunity and invite Mu Daoyou to the church. This is a festival to thank God and spread the gospel to others.
Why celebrate Thanksgiving?
Rejoice always, pray always, and give thanks in all things, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ? (posted before 5: 16)
Christians should live a grateful life. So, is it necessary for Christians to celebrate Thanksgiving?
It's not a day that matters. What is important is that we can have a special day to count many blessings that we usually ignore, to thank God, to thank those who have helped us, and to care for those in need. In this sense, it is necessary to praise the inner spirit of gratitude in Christianity through the form of gratitude.
Second, why do we need Thanksgiving?
Put forward three responses from the teaching of the Bible:
1. Thank you for everything is God's will.
Give thanks in all things, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ? (posted before 5: 18)
Expressing gratitude to God in a special way is a responsibility that human beings with a tendency to fall need to fulfill. In the Old Testament, God personally taught the Israelites to observe Thanksgiving by law, to offer the firstborn crops to the Lord, to offer thanksgiving sacrifices, and to observe Pentecost as a perpetual statute from generation to generation. The church holds Thanksgiving Day to remind us to remember God's teaching and always be grateful and awed. The act of gratitude is an expression of obedience to God's authority.
2. Gratitude is the virtue of gratitude.
As a special festival, Thanksgiving reminds a society and an individual that everything I have is given by God. We should know how to repay the kindness and count the blessings in life. German classical philosopher Feuerbach said:? Compassion, gratitude and love make you a person. ? Our society needs this virtue of gratitude.
3. Gratitude will be more graceful.
Jesus said:? Aren't ten people clean? Where are the nine people? Is there no one but this foreigner who came back to glorify God? Get up, let's go! Your letter saved you. ? (Road 17: 17- 19). During Jesus' treatment of ten lepers, we saw that only one Samaritan knew how to come back and thank God after being treated. We also saw that the other nine people were only treated, but this grateful person was not only treated, but also saved.
Gratitude is not a condition for accepting kindness. In that case, gratitude is not gratitude, but the grateful person must be a more grateful person.
How can we be grateful?
True gratitude should go beyond time.
Whenever and wherever, we are grateful. We should not only be grateful, but also be grateful anytime and anywhere. True gratitude should be beyond self.
This gratitude is not based on personal gains and losses, not on self-experience, but? God's will for us in Christ Jesus? . True gratitude is the natural expression of Christian life.
We live in grace without realizing it, but take everything for granted. The truth is, when we are alive, don't we live by the grace of God? Not to mention the breadth and depth of Christ's salvation, are we grateful for the sunshine, water and air needed for daily life?
True gratitude is beyond reality.
We often look at the environment and reality from the perspective of people, but we can't see the master who is in charge of reality. We thank God, because his sovereignty and his beautiful attributes deserve our thanks and worship. ? When the flood flooded, the Lord reigned as king. God is always king. ? (Psalm 29: 10)
Become a grateful person.
1, firmly believe in God's good pleasure
In the past, you meant to hurt me, but God saved many people's lives with good intentions and achieved today's situation. ? (Gen 50:20)
We know that all things work together for the benefit of those who love God, those who are called according to God's will. ? (Rom。 8:28)
In real life, we often encounter difficulties and hardships. We can't fully know God's will, but we can be sure that God's will is good. There are hundreds of passages in the Bible that tell us that God's will for us is to bless us and give us peace, but none of them tell us that God will hurt us. Even the temptation allowed by God is for our benefit after all. Therefore, we can firmly believe that God is always right and always good to me. We can thank everything.
Be grateful and count your happiness.
From his abundant grace, we all received it and added grace to it. ? (about 1: 16)
We often don't know how to cherish until we lose it. We often regret the past, ignore the present and fantasize about the future. All the great spiritual people in history know how to write down what the Lord has done in their lives. They keep a diary every day to record God's grace, and they often look through it and count God's grace. When difficulties come, those past blessings will strengthen their belief in being tested. If we know how to calculate God's grace in our life, we will be more grateful and confident in the future.
3. Always show kindness and express gratitude.
When God taught the Israelites how to spend Thanksgiving, he asked them to learn to count their blessings and express their gratitude. Express gratitude with gifts to God and help to others.
First, present a gift to God. In other words, offer a thank-you proposal and proposal.
Second, give benefits to others. Every year in the jubilee of rest, we should forgive those brothers who are in debt and distress, give alms to orphans and widows, give alms to the poor and weak groups in society, leave crops by the fields, give dignity to the poor, and let them pick up the crops left behind.
Today, we don't have to go to the temple to offer various sacrifices, but we can support the gospel Ministry through dedication; Witness the great love of Christ through social service, care for people around you and express gratitude.
