"Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also
unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God’s love." ~ Thomas S. Monson
Each Monday night, we have family home evening. As part of the night, we usually sing a song or two, have a lesson, play a game together and wrap it all up with dessert. Often, we find ourselves at Dairy Queen for Blizzards! That's a topic for another day...
Today, I'll focus on the lesson given by our 11 year old daughter this past Monday night. On her own, she prepared a very inspirational message about gratitude and how it matters. She encouraged us to be grateful and express our gratitude often.
She also created a gratitude box (pictured above). She cut little slips of paper and encouraged us to fill the box by Thanksgiving with little notes saying what we are thankful for!
It's a big box. And we only have 8 days to fill it ... Can we do it? We will TRY!
Thanks Lauren for the inspiration. I love you and am so thankful to have you in my life!- Mom
What are you thankful for?
