😀Information essay😀

 

Have you ever wanted to change your life? Well, simple things like family, prayer, and gratitude can do just that! Just take a few minutes each day to focus on the little things and you can really change your life.

 

First let’s talk about prayer. Prayer is something so simple yet it is also so important. Prayer can be good for you and for others because it's our main way of talking to the Lord. When you're  told to pray it may just seem like something you have to do, but it is way more important than that. It can truly change your life if you just take a few minutes to practice it each day! If you can, try to make some time to pray with family. 

 

Speaking of family, that is my next simple but important thing that helps me in my life.Family is something that everyone has. It is your brothers, your sisters, your mom and dad, it can even be anyone you love. You may think, how can family make a difference in my life? Well, there are many ways they can help. Your mom and dad are the main people who make you who you are. Your brothers and sisters, even if they can be mean to you sometimes, they are always there for you when you need them.

 

Finally, we’ll talk about gratitude. Gratitude is something many people struggle with but if you can show some gratitude at least once a day you can really be a great person. Gratitude can be something as simple as saying thanks or helping someone with a school project. Even though these thighs seem like they are so simple they can make a big difference in your life. You could change the whole world if every day you just showed a little gratitude, that’s how powerful it is.

 

So now we can see that even the small things in life can make a huge difference. Gratitude, family, and prayer are only a few things, there are so many other small things that can make a difference in your life. Just remember small things matter in life as well.
