5 Simple Ways You Can Make This Lesson Stick With Your Kids

THIS WEEKS LESSON: HAVE A THANKFUL HEART

IN THE CAR:
Ask your child what they learned about this week on the drive home:
Today we talked about the importance of thankfulness. Thanksgiving is a special day
set aside to thank God for our blessings, but as Christians, we need to be in the habit of
thanking God for our blessings every day.
HANGING OUT:
Make this weeks lesson real:
Take some time to list the things you are thankful for this week, and say a prayer of
thanks together with the kids.
AT DINNER:
Here are some great discussion starters:
- Why do you think only one leper went back to thank Jesus?
- Is our lack of thankfulness because we arent grateful, or because we forget?
- How can we remind ourselves to be more thankful?
AT BEDTIME:
Quiz your child on this weeks memory verse:
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. - Psalm 107:1
(NIV)
PARENT TIME:
What you need to know:
Take some time this week to count your own blessings - beginning with your kids. Let
God and your kids know what you are thankful for, and make thankfulness a part of
your daily spiritual habit as well.
