This makes it pretty visual! I, too, like Aalderinks thoughts on the permanence of the Godhead!

Cassie, ...Thank you, everyone for your comments! <br /><br />Cassie, good idea of letting the kids make the leaves to their ability level. I should let Trevor do that next year (I'll have to let a bit of my control freak go, though, since the tree won't look so uniform =)<br /><br />Aalderinks, THANK YOU for sharing that! I love the symbolism of things that fade vs the Godhead that never fades. I think I'll add that for next year! I also love the idea of the Thanksgiving journal, I'll have to find myself a journal =)Amy Mazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052176651841122314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872359089210030417.post-72427531827473783382011-11-09T17:32:25.654-05:002011-11-09T17:32:25.654-05:00We do this on Thanksgiving day.

We make leaves like yours and each person writes several things to be thankful for on them and we share together about them. Many of those things seem permanent, but we want to acknowledge that they are a gift from God and can fade and fall away, lke health, or toys (for the kids usually). Then I record what each person was thankful in our Thanksgiving journal, so years from now we can see how each child matured in thankfulness from trivial things like toys to meaningful things, like a strong marriage to follow as an example.Aalderinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679593715024063026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872359089210030417.post-84618400549300478392011-11-09T17:01:19.849-05:002011-11-09T17:01:19.849-05:00Love the tree!

We use varying shaped leaves for each kid's ability simple tear shaped to more complex like yours. The kids have to practice their cutting, then their handwriting by writing what they are thankful for. I collect them and put them either on a tree or make a wreath of them.cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923246785537411571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872359089210030417.post-65027788126567217732011-11-08T00:46:58.980-05:002011-11-08T00:46:58.980-05:00love the tree idea!love the tree idea!The Adoption Journey of Baby Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14630232269978070725noreply@blogger.com
