At least once a week, during our family prayer time, we do a little something we now call “Thankful Fors”. It’s quite simple. Each member of the family takes a turn expressing the things they are thankful for in their life. The name started when we missed a few nights of this ritual and my son asked, “Dad, can we do thankful fors tonight?”
I’m often amazed at my kids’ answers. Their teachers at church. Their house, puppy, and family. The fact that we have not lost power (like we did a few months back during a thunderstorm). Some are funny. Some are encouraging. Some are just plain cute. All are Biblical…
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
- Psalm 9:1, NRSV
What are you Thankful For? Family? Health? Ministry? Be specific, and don’t be shy. Let’s fill this blog up with gratitude and tell of HIS wonderful deeds.
