Giving Thanks

How do you teach a child to practice the habit of gratitude? Certainly one way would be to lead by example. Experts suggest that our actions speak louder than our words. 

Here are some great tips from an expert Mom.

  Rejoice evermore.

 Pray without ceasing.

 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18

Happiness is Children Having Fun

   Is there any greater joy for a parent than watching their children laughing? Do you enjoy a moment of gratitude when you see the light in their eyes?

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Learning to do well

Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,

 Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow.
