Give Thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever.
Psalm 118:1
A Shepherd's Staff: Our SS teacher brought a Shepard's staff that was made for him and they have the names of all their children burned onto it. When the Lord does a great work in their lives they will burn a new notch onto the staff, and then write about it in a journal.
Thanksgiving day letters: Instead of going around the table and telling what you are thankful for, write each person in attendance a letter in advance. Telling them why you are thankful for them.
What neat ideas our leadership team came up with. We are truly blessed to be a part of the Austhof SS class. After dinner we played the Newly-wed game. We had a blast!
So, leave a comment and tell me what is your family's tradition on giving thanks, and how do you remember all the Lord has done for you and your family...
Psalm 118:1
Last Friday night the leadership team for our Sunday School class got together for an early Thanksgiving meal. During the meal we discussed some of our ideas and ways to give thanks to the Lord and remember all that He has done in our lives. Here are some of the ideas we came up with...
A Thanksgiving tree: made from a pot or vase with branches in it. Then, as people arrive they can write what they are thankful for on a leaf-shaped piece of paper and hang it on the tree.
A Thanksgiving Football: Take a football and each year at Thanksgiving write all you are thankful for on the football. Each year as you pass the football outside, you can look back at all that God has done and share those with your kids as they grow up.

What neat ideas for Thanksgiving! I loved reading each one!
Our family always passed around a basket of corn kernels and each took a couple- Then we'd have to share things that we were grateful for (one for each corn kernel).
One neat tradition that I saw for Thanksgiving this year was a "Thankful Garland." It was just a string with paper leaves on it- On each leaf was something that you were thankful for. So cute!
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving- Can't wait to see pictures!
