How can it already be November? It seems like it was just summer, not that long ago. With everything that has already happened, how can we be ready for Thanksgiving and a season of thankfulness? And with the kind of year that some people are having, it can be hard to find a reason to be thankful.
The Bible often calls us to be thankful and to rejoice, even when we don’t feel like it.
“ Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).”
So how can we give thanks when we might struggle to find reasons to rejoice? First,
we must realize that there are two levels of gratitude. Surface gratitude and inner gratitude. Surface gratitude is expressing thanks for the good things that happen occasionally. Like say-ing thank you when someone holds the door for us. But inner gratitude is an attitude that sees life itself as a reason to be thankful. One is conditional and the other is unconditional. Try to find that deeper level of gratitude this year, and you will always be able to rejoice through life’s highs and lows.
Here are some exercises to think about gratitude this year for kids and adults of all ages. Conversation Starters
“What is something God did for you this year that made you smile?”
“Who has been a blessing in your life lately?”
“What’s something about Jesus you’re thankful for?”
“How did you see God answer a prayer?”
Gratitude Sentences for Kids
Encourage each child to finish one aloud:
“I thank God for __________.”
“I love how God made __________.”
“I’m thankful for the way our family __________.” “I know God loves me because __________.”
