"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life;
to put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived." ~Henry David Thoreau

Our "Thanks" Jar

We are really striving to teach the kids about being thankful and serving others this month. I made this jar and filled it with questions about giving thanks and service. Each night before bed each kid picks out a question and answers what's on the paper (Then they return it to the jar. If they draw a question they have already asnwered, they put it back in.). I'm sure as the month progresses it will be funny to hear their answers! This is what's written on each paper-

What food are you most thankful for?
What friend are you most thankful for?
What is the nicest thing someone has done for you?
What are you most thankful for at church?
What nice things does Mom do for you?
What nice things does Dad do for you?
What are you most thankful for in our family?
What season or holiday are you most thankful for?
What animal are you most thankful for?
What nice things do you do for other people?
What nice things does your family do for you?
What nice things does Heavenly Father do for you?
What piece of clothing are you most thankful for?
What nice things do you do for our family?
What is your favorite food at Thanksgiving?
Tell the story of the first Thanksgiving.
What is the best thing about the gospel?
