Gratefulness

Do you show thankfulness for every gift you receive?
Does your attitude convey a spirit of gratitude and contentment?
Prayers of thankfulness around the family table are wonderful, but please don't stop there! Let it just be your starting point!


Comment often on how grateful you are for your home, a warm bed to sleep in, and food on the table. Thank your children often for their help, hard work, and pleasant attitudes. Thank your husband for his faithfulness day in and day out. And most of all, remember that salvation itself is the very essence of a heart of thankfulness.

Teach your children to:
  • Write thank you notes.
  • Express their gratitude verbally.
  • Show thankfulness with hugs and smiles.
  • Find something to be thankful for in every circumstance.
