In the midst of all kinds of construction clutter that has seemingly found a near permanent place in our home, we have a Thankfulness Tree...a bundle of branches collected from our yard placed in a ceramic pitcher. Every day for the month of November, we've written something we're thankful for on a small paper circle. The circle then gets hung on one of the branches. The first day when I asked Cooper what he was thankful for, he enthusiastically responded, "Eggs!"
Since then, "Elmo," "Heidi," "Babi" (the Czech word for grandmother), and "Bubbles" have all been added to Cooper's thankfulness list as well. Scott and I have added all kinds of things from the Lord's grace, chocolate chip cookies, homemade bread, to chimes hanging on the deck, and autumn leaves.
If you haven't read One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp, it would be a great choice to get you in a mood of giving thanks. Voskamp was an agorophobic who literally changed her life through the power of thankfulness to the Lord. It definitely has some life changing principles in it.
What are you thankful for today?
