Give Thanks!

We checked out Give Thanks to the Lord by Karma Wilson from the library. Thanks for the recommendation, Mrs. K. It is a celebration of Psalm 92.

It has cute pictures...like this one of the Grandpa and grandson eating pumpkin pie!

BigM's story time craft......what a turkey he is sometimes too!

I have been blessed with this wonderful family!

As the actual THANKSGIVING DAY nears, I am reminded to check my heart to see if I am truly thankful.

• Do I take my blessings for granted..and think that I in some way deserve them?
• Do I rely on my husband to provide for our family when in reality it is God who provides?
• Am I thankful on the tough, busy days?
• Do I show a thankful spirit to those around me, or am I grumbling when things aren't just my way?
• Am I training my children to be thankful for the blessings they do have and not to covet?
• Do I portray a non-covetous heart to them as an example?

The questions could go on and on!

What are you thankful for? What are you doing to cultivate a thankful heart in yourself and/or children?

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17
