Teaching Thankfulness



For our family Thanksgiving has always been a holiday where you see family and friends and eat lots of food.  It is fun but not necessarily very meaningful.  The girls are getting older so I wanted to start a new tradition.  I found this great Thanksgiving activity last week and started it today.  It’s a simple way to count down the days until Thanksgiving while teaching your kids to be thankful for the things God has blessed them with.  Our first paper that we choose was “I am Thankful for my Grandparents.”  It said to call them and tell them.  It was so fun to hear the girls call each grandparent and let them know they were grateful for them.  What a great way to teach our kids to think of others.
