For the month of November we will be focusing on the character trait of gratitude.
We will be displaying a gratitude tree with a basket or jar full of blank paper to write
down what we are grateful for every day.
We will also utilize the kids writing abilities....to write down some thoughts about gratefulness and use these as place mats for the month.
We will also have some baking in the kitchen time where each member has one ingredient to add to the recipe.
We will talk about how just like the recipe each of us brings something to the table in our family, that is needed for
the whole family to function or it as the recipe would be a flop.
We will take turns being thankful for one member at a time with thankful for " so and so" days! We
will lavish that person with praise, no chores, and let them choose that nights dinner, dessert, and entertainment.
They will also have a special plate of recognition to eat from.
We will also be "sheltering" three people with writing letters of encouragement. Remember snail mail?
(Thank you to Pamela at A Sheltering Tree for the inspiration.)
A military person overseas...through this website..AnyMarine.com
An only child who lives far away from extended family
A single mom really going through a tough season.
We will also be focusing on not being rude. We will be visiting many friends and family over the holidays and a refresher course is called for...those with small children can identify I am sure!
How will you aid in developing your family's attitude of gratitude this November?
Blessings and Miracles,
Nicole

What beautiful ideas Nicole! Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and leave your sweet words behind. I see that you are pregnant..congrats! I myself have four girls and lost a baby earlier this year. I was so looking forward to being pregnant at Christmas time again. God bless your pregnancy and I pray for a safe delivery for you.

I found you over at the link up at A Sheltering Tree. I posted a piece on Little Dresses for Africa, but if you scan down my blog you will see a piece on In Hope of Guests. I am writing a thank you note to my in-laws for a recent stay.
