Happy Thanksgiving!
Many of us spend time focusing the THANKS part of Thanksgiving by expressing our blessings with one another over the Thanksgiving holiday.
A small "twist" on this is to focus on the GIVING part as well. Spend some time with your children (perhaps when you start back to school on Monday) and make a list of ways you can be "givers" this coming year. That way you get to BE a blessing to someone else. I read where another HomeschoolBlogger has made this a part of her school week. Each Friday they have a "Blessing Time" where they do something that is a blessing to another person.
What a great way to become aware of the needs of those around us and find ways to meet them.
Blessings!
