HIGHLIGHTS

• Grace and gratitude go hand in hand. The more we grow in our relationship with Christ, and understand the incredible sacrifice He made for us, the more we know what it looks like to be truly thankful.
• Families that are intentional about fostering an attitude of thankfulness, over time, in their kids’ lives truly impacts the child’s ability to be grateful throughout their adult lives.
• Practical ideas: Thank You notes, expressing what we are thankful for around the dinner table, allow kids/students to be a part of serving others and the community, model thankfulness for your kids, develop routines where conversation about thankfulness takes place daily.
