What I'm Thankful For (Part 2)!

Hellooooo everyone! I hope you're having a great week so far! Yesterday we set up our Christmas tree! I can't believe Christmas is only 28 days away. It seems like the year just slipped right by us! 2018 had a lot of ups and downs for me, but it was one of the best years yet. I got to meet so many people who are inspirations to me, and became so involved in the Christian music community. more recently i started writing some songs (which I didn't think I would do again becuz 8 yr old gracie songs were cringey therefore i haven't told anyone ive been writing songs (: ) There's something so cool about all that, and I love it. I'd have to say God has blessed me a lot this year.

Anyways, let's get going with todays post! Today I'll be doing What I'm Thankful For (Part 2), which I completely forgot to do last week, oops. XD

This list isn't in any particular order, and could easily be switched around...

---

There are so many countries where an abundance of food just isn't a reality to them. It's really sad to think. So I'm very thankful that we have food, and food to spare. It's such a blessing, that we need to share with other people too!

I'm thankful that we're living in a time where there is peace, and not war. I mean, there are lots of wars in other countries, bombings, and other things like that, but I'm thankful we're not living in the great depression, and that it's safe to live in America.

Again, there are some countries that don't have clean water. Sometimes in other countries they have to drink dirty, unfiltered water, that carries bacteria and germs, which people could die from. It's a horrifying thing to think about. So I'm thankful for clean water, and also organizations that help get clean water to other countries!

I'm thankful that I have clothes to wear, that are clean and new. It's sad that some people don't have this convenience, or don't even have the money to afford clothes.

My coyote looks very interesting in this picture XDD

I'm thankful for you! I'm thankful for each and every one of you reading this, even if I don't know you. I'm glad that you chose to read this post, and support this blog. Without you, AJC probably wouldn't even be here!

...And I'm also thankful for my computer cooperating with me, to let me go on Animal Jam to get pictures, and type out this blog post without kicking me out of Safari or telling me my storage is full. XDD

Here's todays Bible verse!

Philippians 1:3

Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.

God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.

"Don't Feed Your Animals Jam"

Hello hello everyone! I hope you're having a great day so far! Today was pretty busy, because I had a dentist appointment, we had to go get some things at two stores, went to mail a package, aaaand went to Hobby Lobby. XD Also ran into a lady who is seeking a church, which is a long story, but we invited her to ours! Pretty cool how God works things out just at the right time.

Today's post isn't about Animal Jam, it's more about what not to feed your animals on Thanksgiving, hence the play on words. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and there are some foods that you for sure don't want to feed to your pets. I found a few lists from ASPCA. Here it is!

---

Turkey: If you do give your pets turkey, you need to make sure there's no bones, and that it's fully cooked. If you give your pet undercooked turkey, thaaaat might not be so good. Undercooked turkey could contain a bacteria called salmonella. And don't give them the carcass, or any other bones.

Raw bread dough: The yeast converts the sugars in the dough into carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. This results in bloated, drunken pets, which can be life threatening. That's pretty crazy! So absolutely do not give pets raw bread dough. But just to let you all know, this does not effect humans in the same way. Raw bread dough would be gross though. XD

Cake: Mainly raw cake batter. It, again, could contain salmonella from the raw eggs.

Avocado: This mainly only applies to birds, rabbits, horses, donkeys, sheep, and goats. I was pretty surprised to find this out! It could make them swollen, or even cause death to birds. So that's a big no no!

Coconut and coconut oil: These things could just cause an upset stomach or diarrhea.

Grapes and raisins: No one knows why grapes and raisins are toxic to animals, but it could cause kidney failure.

Onions, garlic, chives: This is a risk to cats, and dogs too could be at risk for red blood cell damage if they eat these.

Salt and salty snack foods: We sometimes feed my dog salty stuff, which after reading about this, we probably won't anymore. This could cause excessive thirst and urination, sodium ion poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, elevated body temperature, seizures, and even death. Not good. So don't give your pets heavily salted things, such as potato chips, pretzels, and salted popcorn, and things like that.

Nuts: The fat in nuts can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and potentially pancreatitis!

I got this information from the following two links,

https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/general-pet-care/thanksgiving-safety-tips

https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets

Be very careful about what you feed your pets. I hope this list was helpful, and you have a great Thanksgiving with your pets!

Here's todays Bible verse!

Psalm 95:2

Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him.

God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.

.....Then after I write this whole entire blog post I forgot I was gonna do What I'm Thankful For (Part 2)

Stay tuned next week my friends.

Next week.

Maybe.

If I remember.

Rare Item Monday - Gracie Edition

*News reporter* Your scheduled rare item Monday is about to begin-
*Gracie tramples over new reporter*
WITH GRACIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Helloooooo everyone! Welcome to your weekly rare item Monday post- GRACIE EDITIOOOOOON! (where did that crazy title come from) Today I'm covering Coolcat's post since she's going through some things with family things right now.

Today's rare item is a really cool one, so let's get started with it!

---

Today's rare item is a rare plaid blanket and is located on the first page in the Shiver Shoppe in the Cocoa Hut at Mt. Shiveer. It's being sold for 750 gems, and is for all jammers! I really love this blanket, and would be great for a Christmas morning outfit!

I didn't know if there was a RIM today, because there wasn't a post about it on the Daily Explorer, and I couldn't find it in Jam Mart Clothing or Jam Mart Furniture. So I thought of another place that sometimes has RIM's, the Shiver Shoppe! Sure enough it was there!

I'd totally rate this item a 10, it's super cute!

---

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving (or if you're Canadian, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving last month!)! Do you have any plans?

Here's todays Bible verse!

Colossians 2:7

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

What I'm Thankful For (Part 1)!

Hey everyone! Sorry this post is late again! I kinda forgot about it until like 20 minutes before dinner... Sooo... XDD I started working on this post, but had to finish it after dinner. So, without any further ado, let's get started!

---

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I decided that this week, and also next week, I would be reflecting on a few things I'm thankful for! This week I'd do things on the very top of my list! It's kinda in a particular order, but kinda not. #3, #4, and #5 could all be moved around depending on what day it is. XDD But really, #4 should come before #3 but it's kinda too late so-

Anyways

Of course, Jesus is at the very top of my list, and forever will be! I'm so thankful that He died on the cross for our sins, and loves us so much.

My family is always there for me, so I'm very grateful for them. Especially in the last few months when we were dealing with all those health issues with my sister, they were always right by her side, and my side too. :)

Christian music has gotten me through so many challenging situations, and my love for it keeps getting bigger and bigger everyday! I love the people who write the songs, and the songs themselves.

And my mom's account... XDD

I've been best friends with Coolcat for about 5 years, and I'm so grateful for her. She's super sweet, and always is there for me if I need prayer, or just someone to talk to. Some friendships you aren't sure will last a while, but with Coolcat, I'm sure it will last forever. I'm also thankful for my other friends on Animal Jam! I don't want to write out a whole list, but I love all of you. :)

In particular, my dog Flynn! I love all animals in general, but I really do love him. He's super sweet, and basically the best dog ever.

Name 5 things that you're thankful for below!

Here's todays Bible verse!

2 Thessalonians 1:3

Dear brothers and sisters, we can't help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing.

God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.

Overall I rate Animal jams Rare Item Monday a 7. Now let’s move onto Play Wilds Rare Item Monday!

Today’s Rare Item Monday for Play Wild is the Rare Horned Pilot Hat!

Thoughts: I love unique items, and I would say this is definitely just that! This is a great item if you are looking for something different.

Overall I rate Play Wilds Rare Item Monday a 9! Comment down below what you think.

Here is today’s verse.

“Since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Colossians 1:9

As always, bye Jammers! And -Jam On!-

Pet Turkeys And Pet Caterpillars?

Hey guys! I'm so sorry this post is so late!! We were just relaxing, watching TV, when all of the sudden it hit me- I FORGOT TO DO MY BLOG POST so uh... Yeah.. I didn't really want to post because it was so late, but figured I probably should. But I'm gonna keep this post kinda short.

Let's get started!

---

It's fall, so Animal Jam just recently added the pet turkeys back into the game! These pets are so cute, so it's always exciting when they come back! I love it when the holiday pets come back. Like these turkeys, and the reindeer!

They're available in the Diamond Shop for three diamonds!

After halloween when Animal Jam changed the homepage, they made a cute fall homepage! But they put a pet on the screen that isn't yet released...

It looks to me like they might be planning on releasing a pet caterpillar soon. It's super cute, and I'd totally buy one of these! I love it's big eyes. XD

Here's a picture of the pet closer up,

What do you think of this unreleased pet?

Here's todays Bible verse!

Revelation 3:19

I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.

God doesn't discipline because He has to, or to make us angry, He disciplines us because he loves us. What kind of kids would we be if our parents let us get whatever we want, do whatever we want, without any discipline? I can tell you that we would probably be selfish, unloving, and sinful. But parents discipline so their kids can learn. That's why God disciplines too.

God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.

Thoughts: I honestly love this weeks Rare Item Monday as well! It’s just a simple white necklace. I really love it!

Here is today’s verse.

“This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.” -Romans 13:6

As always, bye Jammers! And -Jam On!-
