Ugh. Jealousy. Never a good place for our hearts to linger. You are precious, Kendal. Gifted with purpose. (Thanks for commenting!)

I’ve been looking for something like this to help my 6 yr old. She’s a classic “doesn’t matter which one she’s given always wants the other one” kind of gal and it breaks my heart. I think we will start this, even with the younger ones! 🙂 Never too early to develop a thankful heart!

Yes. Too easy to fall into discontentment. He’s so gracious to keep drawing us back to gratitude. You’re a blessing, Rebecca.

I love your journaling idea. I love my journal and encouraging my children to keep their own. Adding scripture: Phil 2:14 to my mind and speaking it when my children begin to complain or argue adds to the necessity of not doing it as well. it is so easy though, in this world to get caught up….to not be thankful. So blessed to read this post this morning…
