Thankfulness

So with this month being Thanksgiving, we as a family sat down on Halloween as we don't celebrate it and designed our own thankful calendar with something we are thankful for every day ranging from God, teachers, health, friends and strangers to love, peace, happiness and differences.  We called my step daughter on the phone as she was not with us when we designed it and asked her what was something she was thankful for, mind you she is 6 years old, and she responded with God.  Melted my heart!  Those are the fruits that we as parents get back saying," Your doing a great job raising children whom love God!"

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says,  In everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. And is one of my favorite verses as I take it as you should give thanks in the good times, the bad times, the trying times, the easy times and the difficult times.  Praising God and giving thanks in everything is something I pray that my children will see and learn to do.  This also goes along with burning bushes and acknowledged that God is in everything and is everywhere.   Here is a picture of our calendar and our final product of our family project.  Happy Thanksgiving Month!
