Full of Thanks: A Lesson in Humility

This is the time of year we are asked to look into our hearts and mindfully declare our thanksgivings .

For some of you it comes as a second nature as you are well practiced in finding humility in the small things.  For others it may come as a challenge. 

Like other things in life, practicing humility brings about an ease of being grateful.  Ask your children what they are thankful for.  Draw pictures together and tell them what you appreciate.  Consider 'giving thanks' to be a simple and well versed family tradition.   

No matter the place you are in, I hope you are able to celebrate in a way that brings about your thanksgivings - large or small.  Happy Thanksgiving!
