Thanks Living, Not Just Thanks Giving!Day 3

Try one of these ideas to start a tradition of “Thanks Living”!

• Create a Gratitude Timeline. Start with a dot on the far left for birth and then add dots to represent blessings you are grateful for throughout your life. Keep it simple or add photos or scriptures to represent the blessings. When you’re done, thank God for the ways He has cared for you in the past and present. Thank Him in advance for His continued care in the future.
• Create a family banner with construction paper or scrapbook paper triangles. Each family member writes or draws something they are thankful for on the triangle and uses clothespins to add to a “clothesline” of twine. You can do this each day of the week leading up to Thanksgiving or do this once a week for any month of the year. Decorate your home with gratitude!

Remember: Look for more ideas tomorrow!
