Thankful Chain

Our favorite Thanksgiving tradition, besides our feast, of course, is our family's thankful chain.  The kids love thinking of things they are grateful for and writing them down.  We try to do it every night, but some nights it just doesn't happen.  But when it does happen, I can feel the difference in our prayers.
We are thankful for:

Guard liked to add to our thankful chain multiple times a day, so Mom and Guard have more than others.  I loved that he loves being thankful!
It is so interesting to see what the kids were thankful for, to hear what means a lot to them.  It is an insight into their personalities and helps me understand them better.  I'm so thankful for gratitude!
