This month we are going to use a community garden to teach our preschoolers that “I can thank God for everything.” Wow, there is so much goodness in that one statement!
First of all, I can thank. Choosing to be thankful is the road to contentment, joy, and peace. And we want our preschoolers to have all of that goodness in their lives. Second, I can thank God. Thanking God is how we acknowledge the One giving us all the good in our lives. And third, I can thank God for everything. Yes, even the not so good stuff. When we thank God for everything, we are showing God that we believe He can use ALL things for His purpose and nothing is too big for Him.
We want our preschoolers to know they can thank God for everything. We want them to experience the contentment, joy, and peace that comes from a thankful heart.
Our Key Question:
WHO CAN YOU THANK FOR EVERYTHING?
I CAN THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING.
I can thank God for people who help me. Finally, we will visit the story of Elisha and the wonderful couple who not only invited him to eat from their table but built a room for him onto their home for when he was in town. They really understood hospitality! While we may not have someone who has made a room for us, we do have people who have helped us, and we can thank God for them.
