Have Fun with Gratitude

There are many ways that you can show your gratitude for the many blessings that fill your life. Here are a few activities that you can do to show your gratitude!

Draw your praise

Think of something you are grateful for, and then draw a picture of it.

I am grateful for my ________________ because they take such good care of me.

Jesus, thank You for my ________________ because it is so special to me!

I love my ______________, and am thankful that they are in my life, Jesus!

I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. (Psalm 34:1 NLT)

Gratitude jar

Things you will need:

• A clean jar• Some colorful construction paper• A pen or pencil• Scissors

Cut the construction paper into strips and keep them near your jar. Then, every day, write something on a strip of paper that you are thankful for. Praise God for it before you put it in the jar.

You can write on as many strips as you want, and for as many things as you are thankful for every day. Then, at the end of the week, you can take them all out, and see how much God has blessed you.
