New Beginnings

Always Thankful

"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Reflection

Being thankful changes everything! When we give thanks, even hard days feel lighter. Try counting three things you are thankful for today.

Prayer

Thank You, Lord, for everything: health, family and love! Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What are three things you are thankful for today?
  2. How can being thankful make a hard day lighter?
  3. Who could you thank today?

5-minute activity

Start a thankful jar. Each person writes three things they are grateful for on slips of paper and drops them in. Add to the jar all month and read them together on a hard day. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
