Gratitude Lists
Before we sat down for Thanksgiving Dinner with Grandma Johnson, the Moons and Ashlyn and Zeke I had everyone fill out their gratitude list and give it to me without looking at each others. After we prayed and dished up, I read five or so things from one person’s list to see if the group could guess whose list it was. I tried to start with general items and move to more specific. It was fun to read and guess. Turns out everyone is easily recognizable by what they are grateful for. I didn’t keep everyone’s lists but thought it would be fun to record ours and grandma’s.
