This past Sunday we sat around as a family and talked about what we're thankful for. After picking something we tried to think of a way we could SHOW our thanks. I'm a big believer in setting achievable, mark off-able goals and for the most part, we were able to think of something that fit the bill.
I didn't write down who said which and I can't quite remember them all, so I'll just list off the thankful item and our goal to show our thanks next to it.
#1. Family: Play together daily
#2. Earth: Pick up trash around our neighborhood and at the park near our home
#3. Books: Donate books we no longer use to a charitable organization
#4. Jesus: Serve Him every day by following His commandments
#5. Trees: Rake leaves and trim our trees to keep our yard and trees looking nice
#6. Learning: Learn how Thanksgiving really started and why we celebrate it today
We've already done a few of these, but still have a few more to go. I love what happens to my life when I consistently have a thankful heart. As cheesy as it sounds, while it's not always easy to be thankful, it's always worth it.
I challenge all of you to find something you're thankful for in your life and then show your thanks. You'll be happier for it!
