At home, try making a Blessing Basket for the dinner table. Decorate it for fall, however you wish: use a paper napkin with fall leaves on it, or go "all out" with gourds and dried fruit. Place a note pad, or a stack of index cards, and a pencil next to it. Whenever the family gathers (breakfast? dinner?), invite each person to name something they are thankful for and to write it on a piece of paper and place it in the basket. Younger children may draw pictures.
Adults, dig deeply for your thanksgivings; this shows your children the importance of the activity. At the same time, accept what your children offer and try to resist the temptation to make it better.
For a change of pace, take turns naming something you are thankful for in another person at the table (make sure everyone is chosen!).
Finally, take a selfie of yourselves with your basket and email it to me. I'll make a collage we can all enjoy!
