As part of our activities on Sunday the four year old class
made thankful boxes. They decorated a
simple white gift box with things and drawings of their choice and then made
pictures of things that they were thankful for to fill the box.
As I was thinking over the topic for my blog this week, this
activity reminded me that we as adults need these reminders as well. The kids were instructed to review the pictures
in their thankful box each time they were jealous and wanted something they
didn’t have. Our society encourages us
to always want what we don’t have. Maybe we as adults should consider making our
own version of a thankful box and review it each time we covet something
someone else has.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, this might be a
fun thing to do as a family to remind us that many of the things that we are
thankful for are not material things.
May you all have a healthy, joyful, and God centered
Thanksgiving and Christmas seasonJ
