Raising A Family

It’s always a good idea to take a minute or two on Thanksgiving to remember how much we have been blessed with. Making a Thanksgiving jar will be fun for the kids and a great way to remember off of our many blessings.

Have the kids decorate a jar or any type of container.  Make it as simple or elaborate as you like.  Gluing fall colors of tissue paper on the jar looks very pretty.  Or you can decorate the container to look like a Turkey.  Whatever makes you happy.  Set the jar in an area of your home where all can see it.  Next to the jar place some small pieces of paper and something to write with.  As family members think of things they are thankful for they can jot them down and stick them in the container.  Sometime on Thanksgiving Day pull out the container and read what is inside.  Enjoy a great conversation about gratitude with your family.
