We read this book which was just delightful. Then we read Psalms 92 and talked about that. Then we made a thankful tree.
Here JJ is hard at work writing "Give thanks to the Lord" on his thankful tree.
He is 'thankful' (and excited!) he is done!
We then hung up the tree. JJ came up with things he was thankful for and we wrote them on leaves and taped the leaves to the tree. Throughout the coming week we will continue to add things we are thankful for. As I thought about it our tree is the opposite of what happens in fall. In fall the leaves fall off - ours the colorful leaves keep adding to the tree! It is a neat, visual reminder that we have much to thank God for each and every day.

Thank you. We really have had fun doing this. We have been adding leaves throughout the week. JJ really enjoys the project. He has been telling others about it.
