Thank you, Jesus

Today we sat in a circle and said "Thank you, Jesus" for something in our lives! This was the first time we have done that this year and we did so well. The Kinders took their turns and thanked Jesus for many blessings. As the kids take turns, they pass around a talking stick. We learned that only the person with the talking stick gets to talk. This is a great way to learn about sharing and taking turns. 
We have so many blessings to be thankful for in our lives and sometimes we get so busy that we forget to say thank you to Jesus. This is a great way to close down our busy day and take the time to all listen and look at each other, while thanking and praying to Jesus. 
Try doing this with your family tonight!
Here are a few of the many prayers and blessings I heard today: 

• "Thank you, Jesus, for... this beautiful day"
• "Thank you, Jesus, for... my toys"
• "Thank you, Jesus, for... my family"
• "Thank you, Jesus, for... my mom, dad, brother, sister and dog"
• "Thank you, Jesus, for... my mom and dad"
• "Thank you, Jesus, for... my friends"
• "Thank you, Jesus, for... my pool"
