Some of you have probably done the Thanksgiving activity where you trace on outline of your hand (to where it looks kind of like a turkey) and then write what you are thankful for in each "wing." We did that at youth last night and asked the youth to write, in each finger, not what they are thankful for but how they can show or what they can do this thanksgiving week to show an "attitude of gratitude." There were many great ideas such as: help mom with thanksgiving dinner, watch my siblings, be mature, be understanding of family, and many more.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 says we should give thanks in all circumstances. So no matter if you are staying home this week, having family come in to visit, heading out of town to visit family or just hanging out I encourage you to be grateful for all God has given you this year and have an attitude of gratitude. Have a happy thanksgiving.
grace & peace
