Thanks Living, Not Just Thanks Giving! Day 4

Encourage “Thanks Living” at dinner or bedtime!
Use a question each night for discussion starters at meal time or bedtime.

• Who in your life are you thankful for? Why?
• What memory brings you joy? Can you see God’s goodness in it?
• How have you seen God answer a prayer?
• What Bible verse can you learn to express gratitude to God? (Psalm 100:4-5, Psalm 136:1, Psalm 111:2-3)

We all enjoy (especially children) hearing a parent’s excitement in  counting God’s blessings and expressing thankfulness to others. Maybe it will become a habit called “Thanks Living”!
