Thankful Jar

During the month of November, once a day we each wrote down one thing we were grateful for, and then put it in the Thankful Jar.

Once the month was over, we took turns drawing a piece of paper out of the jar then reading it out loud.

This project was a great way to help Jay and I recognize all of our blessings- the little and the big ones.
Despite our trials and occasional bad days, there is always so much to be grateful for...
