Gratitude

Starting With Thanks

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise."
Psalm 100:4

Reflection

You can walk into the day complaining or thanking. The door is the same, but the day turns out different depending on the choice.

Prayer

Lord, I want to start today giving thanks. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. How does a day change when we start it thankfully?
  2. What can you thank God for this morning?
  3. What usually makes you complain?

5-minute activity

Starting the month of gratitude, put a sticky note on the front door that says "Enter with thanks." Each time someone walks through it today, they say one thing they're thankful for. Read Psalm 100.
