Reflect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After a long weekend of theater performances, my daughter ran up to me with a huge hug and two simple words. Thank You. The final meeting of a very long week full of heavy decisions was over and a simple text from employee to employer was sent. Thank You. When the food is served and the waitress is about to walk away, it is a good time to say, Thank You. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each person giving the words and each person receiving the words are blessed. Their hearts are each given a gift in those two simple words of appreciation. Everyone involved has been noticed and valued in giving or receiving the act of service or the action of appreciation. Two words can go a long way. Let\u2019s not be afraid to use them frequently. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Look for things to give thanks for.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Thankfulness is proactive. Sometimes we can forget the fact God chooses to love us as His children. He does! For this we can be thankful! He also offers us salvation and relationship with Him through His Son. That\u2019s life changing to say the least! Also everyday things like waking up in the morning and having breakfast to eat is a HUGE thing to be thankful for \u2026 but don\u2019t stop there, keep looking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Say Thank You.<\/strong>\u00a0 Two words, two seconds is all it takes to show appreciation.\u00a0 Of course, feel free to elaborate on why you are grateful to the person you are thanking.\u00a0 It will bless them \u2026 and you! Who can you thank this morning?\u00a0 This afternoon?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Accept Thanks.<\/strong>\u00a0 Sometime accepting thanks is hard. Remember gratitude is a gift.\u00a0 Treasure the words someone is giving you.\u00a0 Take the time to acknowledge their gratefulness\u2026however big or small it may be.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
We have so much to be thankful for if we are able to read this devo!\u00a0May we all develop a lifestyle of thankfulness starting today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Camper Corner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
God wants us to be thankful \u2026 and He has given us an abundance of things to be thankful for.\u00a0This week, you have a little homework (Eek! Keep reading, it\u2019s not that bad).\u00a0\u00a0 When you climb into the car after school or practice or when you all sit down at the dinner table, be ready to share THREE things you were thankful for today.\u00a0 (But watch out, if you are looking for things to be thankful for all day \u2026 bet you will find WAY more than three!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
