I love this time of year! Ok, not the dark mornings and evenings and cooler temps, but I love the heart focused attention to being thankful. I love to focus my attention and the attention of our girls from "I want, I want" to "Thank You, dear Lord."
One way we do this is by having a Thankful calendar. Below are the pictures of ours this year. Each day of the month has a pocket. Inside each pocket is a slip of paper where we will write down 30 things we are thankful for.
My 6 year old daughter talks about it the calendar all day long as she thinks and plans out what she'll write down tomorrow. She has down her family and sunrise/sunsets so far.
It is also lots of fun to write down things that our 2 year old is thankful for. Yesterday was ice cream and this morning was vitamins (the gummy kind).
I love it!
