As teens I know its hard to express gratitude towards others. I know its hard to just sit down, take your parents by the hands and say "Thank you!" but don't you know how much that would touch them? How much joy that would bring to their hearts?
We don't usually think to tell our siblings thank you. Thank them for being so protective of you in school, thank them for sharing their most valuable possession with you. Thank them for loving you.
As teenagers we can't even think of thanking our teachers - but we should! Thank them for spending the extra time on you and your classmates - time they don't really have to put in! Thank them for making your class fun, thank them for actually teaching you something everyday. It will make their day, trust me.
Thank your friends for putting up with you - your mood swings, bad days, tantrums from the girl drama, tears from the boy drama. Thank them for always reminding you that God is in control. Those are the kind of friends that will stay with you for life.
Then, Thank GOD for all of those people. Thank Him for everything - people, material things, everything. Then see how your life changes.
