Thankful Season

Every night we, Knights, have a bedtime ritual. Structure, order, and a routine are important in my house. One of the pieces of our ritual time at bed is for everyone to share "something they are grateful for" that happened or did not happen during the day. These are called our "thankful things".

Following our conversations around our thankful things- then we pray together about them and our other concerns/celebrations.

You can appreciate, I hope, how diverse our thankful things can be with a preschool student and her wacky parents. Here is a sample list of our thankful things in the past week or so:

• teeth
• my caterpillar
• got my work done today
• Daddy's job
• Nana sent a box
• Mommy and Daddy, but not Duke dog
• Daddy's patient help so that Mommy could write
• halloween candy
• naps

What are you thankful for?
