Our family strives to live daily with grateful hearts and live in contentment. No matter how much there is to complain about, we try to look for what we have to be thankful for instead! This is a tall mountain to climb daily, but we keep climbing!
To be more intentional in this area, we have been reading scripture about being thankful. Each leaf on this "tree" has a scripture on it ... we read one each evening at dinner time.
I also made this simple Give Thanks family journal. Each night during dinner, we pass the journal around with each of us adding one or two things our hearts are grateful for that day. We are attempting to not repeat ourselves and reach 1000 gifts. This journal began in the month of November when we all tend to focus more on being thankful, but will continue on into the new year for us.
Gratitude helps us to see what is there instead of what isn't.
