I love Autumn! The cooler breezes and the lower humidity call me to long adventurous walks in the woods, culminating in hot chocolate or apple cider and yummy donuts with my children. I enjoy the memory making we create each year by going out into nature to snap our family portrait for Christmas cards, or the icky gooey time we spend scooping out the inside of a pumpkin so that we can carve the name of Jesus into it, shining His name into the darkness. I treasure each season…catching hold of the drops of grace rained down upon me, redeeming every lonely moment of my pre-Christian days. And I am reminded, to be thankful.
But how do I cultivate thankfulness in my children’s hearts during the holiday season?
