Sparks Family Follow Up

In club, we've been talking about the importance of being thankful to God, our heavenly Father, in EVERY situation. Each night at the supper table, list, with your children, five "thanks" that your family has for that day. At first, children will probably choose the obvious: my parents, my house, my pet, etc. As you continue to do this, encourage them to develop a thankful attitude for the not-so-obvious: "I'm sorry Aunt Karen is sick, but I am thankful we were able to make cards for her today;" "I'm sorry I didn't get to go to Trevor's birthday party, but I'm thankful I got to play a game with Dad here at home."
