November 2008 |Be Thankful

This November, get your family thinking about all of the things you have to be thankful for. We shouldn’t just focus on our blessings at Thanksgiving; rather, we should be teaching our children a lifestyle rooted in giving thanks.

Consider starting a family journal. Take turns recording something you are grateful for each night. Then, each Thanksgiving your family can flip back through the journal and see the many ways you have been blessed.

Or, purchase a special tablecloth just for Thanksgiving along with a variety of fabric markers. Throughout dinner, people can take time to draw and write the various things they have been thankful for throughout the year.
