Such insight! Much to ponder. <br /><br />I, too, love your idea of having your children articulate their thanks. There is soooooo much for which we can be thankful...and I believe it gives us a different attitude when we voice our thanks. <br /><br />"Godliness with contentment is great gain."Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-40274666456157119592012-02-19T14:42:47.518-05:002012-02-19T14:42:47.518-05:00I've been teaching a Creative Writing class, a...I've been teaching a Creative Writing class, and one day each week, I have them write what I call "a thankful page" where they list all the things they are thankful for! I have found it really improves their writing! It helps put their hearts in the right frame of mind! <br /><br />I love your post! It's beautiful!!<br />Thanks for sharing it with all of us!Cheri'https://www.blogger.com/profile/09645552158950177860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-9860534665370760302012-02-19T11:45:05.272-05:002012-02-19T11:45:05.272-05:00A good word.

On the other hand, I grew up in a home that looked as if a bomb had been tossed on any given day. (My parents were always working on some sort of project or other.) So there's a balance to be achieved. Slow and steady, but not so slow that children never have any sense of normalcy. I don't know what I'm trying to say so will shut up now. =)<br /><br />I've had my own room and not had my own room. I prefer not having my own room.

We adults are more mature and more readily realize what we have (not to say that the envy bug doesn't occasionally bite if we aren't careful) and pray our list of thanks always. But our children benefit when we customize the thank you prayer to their particular provisions.
