Memory Verse

“Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

This month we will be reading about being thankful. We will be digging in to questions like: Why should we be thankful? When can we be thankful? How can we show our thanks?

Several years ago, my friend gave us a great gift to use during the month of November leading up to Thanksgiving. It was a little turkey that was intended to be put on the table so you could see it at each meal. On each of the feathers you can write what you are thankful for. My kids have enjoyed this so much! We have had very serious, well thought out thankful turkey feathers, and we have had super silly, kind of weird thankful turkey feathers. I’ve saved all of our old lists, and my kids have a lot of fun going back through and looking at what they have been thankful for in the past.
