A Week of Thanksgiving - Day 3

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

Day 3 -

Today, focus on expressing gratitude to and for your family members.  Make a list of each member of your family (mate, parents, children, brothers, sisters, etc.).  Then next to each name, write one quality about their life for which you are particularly grateful.

Family Member                    ----             Qualities I Appreciate

Dad                                                                       Hard working.
Mom                                                            Supportive, loving, serving
Jesse                                                                Occasional helpfulness

Take time to thank God for each member of the family He has given you.  Then pick three individuals from your list whom you can express gratitude today, either in person, by phone, or by means of a note.  You might want to begin by saying something like this:

                    "I thanked God for you today.  And I wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you are a part of my family, and especially for this particular quality that I see in your  life..."   
(You may want to express gratitude to someone on your list who has been especially difficult to love!)

  1. What a great reminder! That's definitely an area where I need to change and grow... I take my family so much for granted.

    I'm glad you liked the devo I wrote. I'm going to post another one that I just wrote tonight for M&M.

    It was also nice talking to you last week. I guess we'll talk again on Thursday night?

    Talk to you later!
