Be Thankful
Parent’s Corner- November 17, 2019
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!” Psalm 100:4
This week in Sunday School, our kids saw many examples of reasons to be thankful to God. . . for physical healing, for provision of food, and for the ultimate gift from the Lord, His son Jesus! As we focus on thankfulness during these weeks before Thanksgiving, let’s remember to be thankful to God for all of the gifts He gives us. . . especially for the best one of all that we will celebrate next month! Let’s encourage our kids to be thankful for every good gift given by the Lord, and let our encouragement come by our own example!
