This is an opportunity to make gratitude an issue in your home\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014and wouldn\u2019t that be nice if our kids\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It would be so nice. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014if our kids were just a little more grateful.

But you know, if you help your kids focus on being grateful, you can learn the lessons with them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So, tell us about what you\u2019ve been working on that is designed with Thanksgiving in mind as a part of the Ever Thine Home<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> collection. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, we have been working to create resources that help parents focus on gratitude with their kids because we naturally \/ culturally think about the topic of being thankful around Thanksgiving and being grateful during the month of November. Rather than waiting for Thanksgiving Day and hoping, by some miracle, your kids automatically become more grateful, the better route is take the initiative, as a parent, and find some ways that you can broach the topic and begin to teach your children about the importance of being grateful and why it\u2019s important. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So, you have a resource called \u201cWritten and Remembered\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014that has that as its centerpiece; right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s correct. \u201cWritten and Remembered\u201d is a small book with four stories in it. Each of those stories is about somebody who had a grateful attitude\u2014some person who, in difficult circumstances or unusual circumstances, chose to be grateful. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s really the crux of the issue in gratitude. It\u2019s easy to be grateful when you feel good. It\u2019s easy to be grateful on your birthday and when you\u2019re getting all the attention; but it\u2019s not so easy to be grateful when you\u2019re sick, or when you\u2019re hurting, or when circumstances aren\u2019t turning out the way you want. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn the book that comes with \u201cWritten and Remembered,\u201d I\u2019ve highlighted four heroes of the faith\u2014I call them\u2014who, in difficult circumstances, chose to give thanks to God and to become a grateful person. I wish I had had this when my kids were growing up\u2014to have read these stories to them because it does something to your frame of reference to hear about someone, like Joni Eareckson Tada, for instance, whose story is number one. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tJoni is confined and has been confined to a wheelchair since she was 17 years old. Yet, she is one of the most grateful people I have ever met in my entire life. I would have liked for my kids to have understood that when they were growing up because it would have helped them go: \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWell, maybe my life isn\u2019t so bad after all. Maybe, my circumstances aren\u2019t so hard. Maybe, it\u2019s not such a big deal that my friend at school decided not to be my friend anymore.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think if moms and dads have something\u2014a tool \/ a resource\u2014that can help them engage with their kids around the topic of gratitude, it\u2019s much more productive than saying, \u201cWould you just be grateful for what you\u2019ve got?!\u201d\u00a0 I mean, that doesn\u2019t really accomplish a lot. If we take them into an experience of someone else\u2014and then, they can understand that gratitude is really preferable to complaining\u2014they are a lot more likely to catch it, and then, be more grateful. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u201cWritten and Remembered\u201d is not simply a storybook with four stories in it. That\u2019s really the catalyst to what you are hoping the activity for families will be; right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. After you read the story, there is an activity to do together to understand the concept of gratitude. One of the activities with one of the other books is to write, on postcards, a message of thanks or a message of gratitude to everybody that you can think of who serves you and helps you on a regular basis\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014so, write a note of thanks to a teacher at school, write a note of thanks to the person who delivers your mail, write a note of thanks to the bus driver, or your grandmother, or the babysitter, or the child care worker\u2014whomever. There are a host of people in all of our lives who serve us in ways that we often don\u2019t recognize. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, the application\u2014for story number three, I believe it is\u2014is to write postcards and send postcards\u2014or hand deliver them to these people and say, \u201cI really appreciate what you do for us.\u201d\u00a0 That is a way to grow gratitude because it takes our eyes off of ourselves and puts them on someone else and what someone else is doing for us. When we say, \u201cThank you,\u201d it, not only is a good exercise for us, but it encourages the other person. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Well, I hope our listeners will take some time and go to EverThineHome.com and see what you\u2019ve been working on\u2014designed for Thanksgiving. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI thought we ought to spend a little time listening to what we talked about\u2014this is more than a decade ago\u2014back when you still had a lot of kids at home and, I think, only one of your kids was married.

This is an opportunity to make gratitude an issue in your home\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014and wouldn\u2019t that be nice if our kids\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It would be so nice. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014if our kids were just a little more grateful.

But you know, if you help your kids focus on being grateful, you can learn the lessons with them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So, tell us about what you\u2019ve been working on that is designed with Thanksgiving in mind as a part of the Ever Thine Home<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> collection. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, we have been working to create resources that help parents focus on gratitude with their kids because we naturally \/ culturally think about the topic of being thankful around Thanksgiving and being grateful during the month of November. Rather than waiting for Thanksgiving Day and hoping, by some miracle, your kids automatically become more grateful, the better route is take the initiative, as a parent, and find some ways that you can broach the topic and begin to teach your children about the importance of being grateful and why it\u2019s important. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So, you have a resource called \u201cWritten and Remembered\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014that has that as its centerpiece; right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s correct. \u201cWritten and Remembered\u201d is a small book with four stories in it. Each of those stories is about somebody who had a grateful attitude\u2014some person who, in difficult circumstances or unusual circumstances, chose to be grateful. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s really the crux of the issue in gratitude. It\u2019s easy to be grateful when you feel good. It\u2019s easy to be grateful on your birthday and when you\u2019re getting all the attention; but it\u2019s not so easy to be grateful when you\u2019re sick, or when you\u2019re hurting, or when circumstances aren\u2019t turning out the way you want. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn the book that comes with \u201cWritten and Remembered,\u201d I\u2019ve highlighted four heroes of the faith\u2014I call them\u2014who, in difficult circumstances, chose to give thanks to God and to become a grateful person. I wish I had had this when my kids were growing up\u2014to have read these stories to them because it does something to your frame of reference to hear about someone, like Joni Eareckson Tada, for instance, whose story is number one. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tJoni is confined and has been confined to a wheelchair since she was 17 years old. Yet, she is one of the most grateful people I have ever met in my entire life. I would have liked for my kids to have understood that when they were growing up because it would have helped them go: \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWell, maybe my life isn\u2019t so bad after all. Maybe, my circumstances aren\u2019t so hard. Maybe, it\u2019s not such a big deal that my friend at school decided not to be my friend anymore.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think if moms and dads have something\u2014a tool \/ a resource\u2014that can help them engage with their kids around the topic of gratitude, it\u2019s much more productive than saying, \u201cWould you just be grateful for what you\u2019ve got?!\u201d\u00a0 I mean, that doesn\u2019t really accomplish a lot. If we take them into an experience of someone else\u2014and then, they can understand that gratitude is really preferable to complaining\u2014they are a lot more likely to catch it, and then, be more grateful. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u201cWritten and Remembered\u201d is not simply a storybook with four stories in it. That\u2019s really the catalyst to what you are hoping the activity for families will be; right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. After you read the story, there is an activity to do together to understand the concept of gratitude. One of the activities with one of the other books is to write, on postcards, a message of thanks or a message of gratitude to everybody that you can think of who serves you and helps you on a regular basis\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014so, write a note of thanks to a teacher at school, write a note of thanks to the person who delivers your mail, write a note of thanks to the bus driver, or your grandmother, or the babysitter, or the child care worker\u2014whomever. There are a host of people in all of our lives who serve us in ways that we often don\u2019t recognize. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, the application\u2014for story number three, I believe it is\u2014is to write postcards and send postcards\u2014or hand deliver them to these people and say, \u201cI really appreciate what you do for us.\u201d\u00a0 That is a way to grow gratitude because it takes our eyes off of ourselves and puts them on someone else and what someone else is doing for us. When we say, \u201cThank you,\u201d it, not only is a good exercise for us, but it encourages the other person. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Well, I hope our listeners will take some time and go to EverThineHome.com and see what you\u2019ve been working on\u2014designed for Thanksgiving. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI thought we ought to spend a little time listening to what we talked about\u2014this is more than a decade ago\u2014back when you still had a lot of kids at home and, I think, only one of your kids was married.

There\u2019s a job where I can teach the Scriptures and challenge others to follow Christ,\u201d\u2014that was what I was thankful for. \u201cThird, two little girls and a new teenage daughter that I have the challenge of loving for several years\u201d\u2014that\u2019s a great thing to be grateful for. \u201cFor Ashley coming home and our family being together again,\u201d\u2014she\u2019d been away at college; and so, Ashley was home. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then, the one that was emotional that I listed on this Thanksgiving Day in 1993\u2014\u201cFor Samuel\u2019s response to his muscular dystrophy.\u201d\u00a0 Actually, Bob, listing them here, that was the first thing I thought of and listed on that. And I looked up Samuel\u2019s card. His list contained Ashley coming home. He was grateful for his family. Third\u2014and this is a 13-\/14-year-old boy, at this point\u2014he was thankful for MD and Mayo Clinic. And his list goes on from there, including being thankful for a great brother. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd, you know, those are moments in your family when you are commanded in Scripture to give thanks\u2014even for the trials, the tragedies, and the disappointments that come your way, as a family. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So, you\u2019ve been collecting these; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, the earliest ones I can find, anyway, are from \u201993.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>This is one of those envelopes that if the house was on fire\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes, I would run and get it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYes, it\u2019s that one moment in the year when everybody appreciates everybody else; because when we do these spontaneous things, through the year, somebody goes: \u201cOh, do we have to say what we\u2019re thankful for?\u00a0 Do we have to say we like So-and-so?\u201d because it\u2019s just in the middle of life.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut there\u2019s something about our Thanksgiving morning celebration that\u2019s become such a tradition\u2014that we all look forward to it\u2014we all sort of start thinking ahead of time what we\u2019re grateful for.

If you think about it\u2014these are all things we associate with the day of Thanksgiving\u2014hymns \/ songs. It mentions in Scripture\u2014sacrifice, an offering, prayer. But most importantly, the thing that appears most in Scripture is that of an attitude. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd I think it\u2019s the core of worship. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd, you know, Bob, it may be\u2014when we get to heaven\u2014we may find out that the day we were closest to truly worshipping God was on Thanksgiving because we forgot ourselves and lifted our hearts heavenward to thank God for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, our family, good health, a church. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI just think it\u2019s a very healthy exercise.
