As adults, we often find it difficult to be thankful when things get are responsible to help with or to do on their own to help the home

not feeling it. Hard times to us include job stress, financial problems, dusting, setting the table, caring for pets and more. As they get older,

ate ways to instill gratefulness into their character.
An old joke describes a terrible stormy Sunday night at church fol-
lowing a week of bad weather that had brought much damage to the
community. The parishioners are all wondering what their perpetually
cheerful and thankful pastor could say that was good about this week.
The pastor gets up there and begins to pray and thank God that the
weather is not always like this. Now that is the art of being thankful!
We know how to teach the rudiments of being thankful and we all
know we have days where we can do a better job modeling gratitude,
but how do we instill it? We need to be consistent in our teaching and
modeling, but here are some other ideas to help make gratefulness a
part of our children.
One of the best ways to teach thankfulness is through giving and
helping others. It’s easier to see what we have been blessed with,
when we focus on the needs of others. Find ways that your kids can
help you to help others. Collecting food or other items for needy
families, spending time with older people in a nursing home, visiting
older people from your church who can’t get out of the house much
or cleaning your church or school. When giving a gift, involve your
children in selecting the item, making a card or drawing a picture, as
well as wrapping and giving the gift.
Responsibilities at home, teach gratefulness for all the effort, time
and money it takes to live life. Every child should have things that they
