Worshiping With Children

                      5 Ways to Raise A Grateful Child

Go to 5 Ways to Raise A Grateful Child for an article that is not really a list of five pithy guides for raising a grateful child. Instead it is a wonderful essay about doing the job and is loaded with very real, everyday stories about children being both grateful and ungrateful. In these stories there lots of very specific suggestions for parents. As we turn the corner from Thanksgiving toward Christmas, it is full of sermon illustrations, preaching points, and even fodder for newlsetters. Many of them focus on how chidren respond to gifts they do not really want - a good December topic!  So I pass it on.
