If you aren't sure what that means, it is an evening we have set apart a week to do an extra special Family thing, usually at home.
But this week we used the help of an Ensign Article, well actually an extra part of it, not quite sure how to link to just that part I copy and paste here:
Take a Gratitude Challenge
By John Hilton III and Anthony Sweat
Let’s not just talk about counting our blessings—let’s do it! Write a list of 100 things you are thankful for. If that sounds like it is too many, try this:
1. Write 10 physical abilities you are grateful for.
2. Write 10 material possessions you are grateful for.
3. Write 10 living people you are grateful for.
4. Write 10 deceased people you are grateful for.
5. Write 10 things about nature you are grateful for.
6. Write 10 things about today you are grateful for.
7. Write 10 places on earth you are grateful for.
8. Write 10 modern inventions you are grateful for.
9. Write 10 foods you are grateful for.
10. Write 10 things about the gospel you are grateful for.
When we make a list like this, we discover that a list of 100 doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of all the things God has given us.
After read through that I had the Idea to implement this in a way That is fun. For our evening we as a family listed items we are grateful for on strips of paper and after we had 100 we took those strips and made rings and connected those rings to each other to make a chain:
This is the pile of Chain
Skyler helping hold it up
The kiddos modeling their gratitude
Our tree all dressed up!
