We are supposed to express ourgratitude［感激］to others on Thanksgiving Day. However, we should feel gratitude every day.

God has two dwellings, one in heaven, and the other in a thankful heart. Be grateful to others is a way to show your love. In our daily life,we often receive help from our parents, friends,colleagues［同事］and strangers. Perhaps it is a little thing, pick up the pen you drop, lift a heavy box for you or offer you a seat in the bus. We should be thankful to them for whatever they have done. The more love you give, the more love you receive.

A sense of gratitude canacknowledging［接受，承认］ourinterdependent existence［相互依存］. You will be ready to help others if you have a thankful heart. Therefore, a thankful heart is like a magnet. Not only will we attract more things to be grateful for, but also we will attract gratitude from others.

感恩节我们应该向他人表达我们的感激之情。然而，我们应该每天都感到感激。

上帝有两个住所，一个在天堂，另一个在感恩的心中。感激他人是表达你爱的一种方式。在我们的日常生活中，我们经常得到父母、朋友、同事和陌生人的帮助。也许这是一件小事，帮你捡起掉落的笔，给你举一个沉重的盒子，或者在公共汽车上让给你一个座位。我们应该感谢他们所做的一切。你给予的爱越多，你得到的爱就越多。

感恩意识可以提示我们相互依存。如果你有一颗感恩的心，你会乐于帮助别人。因此，感恩的心就像一块磁铁。我们不仅会吸引更多值得感激的东西，还会吸引其他人的感激。

感恩就是天堂本身。对他人的感激和负债感是慷慨和善良生活的重要源泉。我们现在往往陷入忙碌的生活，忽略了对细节、大自然的美丽、现代生活的舒适、父母的爱等的感激。人们带着一颗感恩的心就可以注意到这些细节，体会我们生活中的友谊、爱和幸福。
