Gratitude Chart

Maddie made a family gratitude chart last night in YW. The YW president shared her experience with it, as her family has been doing this tradition for 20+ years. The idea is to take a minute every day to think about at least one thing that either made you happier or made that day easier. This is our first day: Zack-clean music and a clean car (Dad and I washed the jeep last weekend), Maddie-dry clothes after the Renascence Festival (she got rained on), Chelle-my freedom to vote and worship as I wish (yesterday was Election Day), Dad- Zack driving to seminary. It was great fun to see what others were thankful for that day.

Maddie and I included your name in case you wanted to join us. You could keep a tally of your daily gratitudes for the week then share them with us in Monday's email. Then we can transfer them to the chart.

If you don't think you have time, no worries. We just thought it wild be fun to hear what you had to say. If you do want to join us you can start today or back track and give us last week's worth. We will only do it until the 27th.

Love, 

Chelle
