{thanksgiving FHE}

Last Monday night we had an FHE lesson about being grateful and learning to count our many blessings. A friend of mine had the idea to let her little ones, mom and dad too, make turkey's and write the things they are grateful for on the feathers. We decided to do the same! After they were done we decided it would be a good reminder to hang them up for the Thanksgiving holiday. (mom's turkey is awaiting another sheet of paper) Aside from the obvious gratitude for family, friends & blessings some of the fun things we were grateful for were Dad: Milk & Oreos, Mom: her truck, Wyatt: racing games, James: Mickey Mouse!

It was a fun family activity that not only reminded us of the many blessing in our lives such as the gospel, scriptures, work, and family but also taught us to be grateful for the temporal things we have that others may not. Each of us are blessed in many ways, it's remembering those blessings on a regular basis that makes them valuable to us!

For those friends and family that don't know about FHE, it is a night set aside in our church for parents to sit down with their children to teach them valuable lessons that will help them to grow spiritually and to build strength and unity as a family!
