If we want to focus on gratitude, we\u2019ve got to find a way to do it because it\u2019s not going to happen naturally. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So, if parents are thinking, \u201cOkay, I want to be intentional,\u201d\u2014and we want them to be intentional and have some focus.

So, how would you ever have a time to do something like what we used to do?\u2014which was to make a list of how we are grateful. Each of us, as family members, is grateful for one another. We\u2019d feature one of the kids at the dinner table and say: \u201cLet\u2019s all go around the table. \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\u201cLet\u2019s tell Ashley\u201d\u2014our firstborn\u2014\u201cwhat we appreciate about Ashley.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey\u2019d go around the table. Invariably, they\u2019d share something about: \u201cShe\u2019s cute,\u201d \u201cShe\u2019s kind,\u201d \u201cShe\u2019s nice,\u201d\u2014this. And one of them would always say, \u201cBecause she shares her toys with us.\u201d\u00a0 [Laughter]\u00a0 But it taught them to stop, in the midst of life, and just merely express appreciation for other family members. I don\u2019t think we do that often enough. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You didn\u2019t save that up and make that just something you do on Thanksgiving Day. You were doing this, year round, just occasionally peppering it into a meal?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Yes. Frankly, as you take the temperature of each of your children or of your spouse, there may be a moment when they need this. I admit I\u2019ve come home, on more than one occasion, a little discouraged by things that had taken place, here at FamilyLife; and I was in need of some people believing in me again and expressing appreciation. \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>Barbara: <\/strong>So, it was fun when we would do that. The kids\u2014sometimes, they rolled their eyes and didn\u2019t want to do it\u2014but nonetheless, what it illustrated is that, to be thankful \/ to appreciate another person, you have to step out of the routine. You\u2019ve got to step out of what you normally do, which is to think about yourself and what\u2019s next on your agenda. So, as parents, we have to help our kids step out of their natural bent toward selfishness and help them focus on somebody else because the essence of thanksgiving and gratitude is focusing on someone else. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFor us, as believers, it\u2019s directing our thanksgiving and our gratitude toward the source of everything that we enjoy in life, which is God Himself. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>There are Bible verses that talk about the importance of gratitude. You mentioned that, in your study of Scripture, you\u2019ve come across dozens of verses\u2014well, a couple hundred in the Old Testament\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014and dozens in the New Testament\u2014things like: \u201cGive thanks in all things,\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u00a0[1 Thessalonians 5:18]\u201d \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\tColossians [3:15-17] talks about how thanksgiving needs to be a part of what we do. Reading these verses to our kids\u2014having them memorize these verses \/ memorizing them together with them\u2014this can be a part of how we focus on \/ how we can be intentional about cultivating gratitude in the heart of a child. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It\u2019s one of the ways that parents can train their children in being grateful and being thankful. Again, it\u2019s calling their attention to something that we, as moms and dads, know is important for them and that they need to have as a character quality in their lives because they are not going to do it on their own. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, finding some of these verses\u2014one of the easiest to memorize is, \u201cGive thanks in all things,\u201d\u20141 Thessalonians 5:18. It\u2019s very easy for even a three-year-old or a four-year-old to memorize. It\u2019s just as important for the 18-year-old and the adult because that\u2019s a pretty comprehensive verse. When you stop and think about it\u2014giving thanks in all things\u2014that is never going to run out in anybody\u2019s life. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And if you were to say to your kids\u2014after you memorize a verse like that\u2014say, \u201cNow, I\u2019m going to give a dollar to the first person who can catch me not giving thanks when I ought to be giving\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s a good one. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014\u201cthanks.

But one of the things that Dennis has started doing in the last couple of years is making it a point to thank the TSA workers for their work on our behalf. He\u2019s asked a few of them, \u201cSo, how many people ever thank you for what you do?\u201d\u00a0 And most of them say, \u201cNo one,\u201d or \u201cNever.\u201d\u00a0 And he said, \u201cReally?!\u201d\u00a0 We\u2019ve had TSA agents tell us that they\u2019ve had people spit in their face, and yell at them, and cuss at them, and just all kinds of really, really awful things.

So, to have someone say, \u201cThank you for doing what you\u2019re doing,\u201d would\u2014I would think\u2014make their day. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I was in one airport recently where, after I travelled all the way through security, I got stopped by the head TSA agent.

Was this a \u201cYou don\u2019t get your turkey until you fill out the card\u201d-kind of thing?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Actually, it was\u2014we did it first. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/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 knew that, if we tried to do it during the meal, it would be messy and it would be ridiculous. If we did it afterwards, everybody would want to get up and run; and they were tired of sitting. So, we did do it first; and they didn\u2019t eat until they did the card. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And you didn\u2019t just have them verbalize what they were thankful for, but you had them write it down. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>I had them write it down first. Everyone had a card on their plate with a pencil or a pen. Everybody knows the routine, now. They, sometimes, sit down and start filling out the card without any instruction; but initially, those first few years, I had to help them know that we\u2019re going to write down five things that we are thankful for that happened this year in our lives. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd when the kids were little, they put little things\u2014\u201cI\u2019m thankful for my toy,\u201d\u2014and whatever, but it didn\u2019t matter. I love having those ones from the three-year-olds and the four-year-olds\u2014when they write just a couple of words. As the kids got older and we continued to do this, there were some pretty remarkable sentences written by our older children in their teenage years: \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\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cI\u2019m thankful that I didn\u2019t make the team because I learned about God\u2019s\u2026\u201d\u2014whatever. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s been a great memory-maker for us. I didn\u2019t anticipate that having all of us, including Dennis and me, write down what we\u2019re thankful for\u2014I didn\u2019t think about the storehouse, so to speak, of memories that we were creating. I just wanted them to practice pausing and thinking, \u201cWhat am I grateful for?\u201d and then writing it down. That was the end goal for me. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dennis: <\/strong>It\u2019s interesting.

There is one by our son, Benjamin. He misspelled his name as he was attempting to write it; but he said: \u201cI\u2019m thankful for my family because they can help me when I need it.

And there is something about being together around the table, sharing a meal, that gives you an opportunity. You came up with a spool of napkin ties that have a purpose; right?\u00a0 Explain what this is all about. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, about two or three years ago, we created, as you said, a spool of napkin ties or napkin ribbons. Each one of them has a question printed on it. The idea is to do what we\u2019ve been talking about\u2014find a way to create meaningful conversation. \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\tWe want to be with people we care about, and we want to create memories with them. And the way to do that is to have something meaningful that we do together or we share together in some way or another. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe questions are all about being thankful or being grateful. The idea is that, as everyone gets their napkin and takes the ribbon off of the napkin to put the napkin in your lap, you see that on this piece of ribbon is a question. You can do it anyway you want to in your family\u2014you can do it before the food is served, you can do it as everyone sits down, or you can have everyone save their question and do it at dessert\u2014whatever you want to do. The idea is\u2014you read the question. So, if the three of us are having dinner, I would have you read the question first, Bob. Whatever the question is, then, you would tell us what your answer to that question is. Then, we would go around. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd it\u2019s <em>amazing<\/em> what you learn about people when you answer these questions. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/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\tWe\u2019ve heard phenomenal stories of families, who like most families, just have conversation about the weather or the football game that they are getting ready to go watch; but when they use these napkin ties on their table, even people that they didn\u2019t expect would be open and honest would share. They found that they learned things about one another that they wouldn\u2019t have without the help of these questions. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>There are different questions. So, you have a whole series of different questions on each spool\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Correct. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014so that each person doesn\u2019t have the same question. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes, all the questions are different. One spool has 12 questions. This year, we\u2019re coming out with a second set. So, we\u2019ve got two sets of questions on gratitude. Since most families have a pretty big gathering at Thanksgiving, that allows you to have 24 different questions if you\u2019ve got a big crowd of people. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And the focus is on gratitude with each one?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>They are all on gratitude. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Let me just read a couple of them here: \u201cWhat little things are you thankful for today?\u201d\u00a0 Now, you don\u2019t think of that possibly opening up a serious conversation between family members; but you may have a family member who you really haven\u2019t had a meaningful conversation with in a long time.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/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\tSo, these questions\u2014in fact, I know one son who invited his dad to come to their Thanksgiving celebration.

I think it\u2019s\u2014in the holidays, it\u2019s especially important that we seize the moment and that we are intentional about making it what we want it to be. If we want to focus on gratitude, we\u2019ve got to find a way to do it because it\u2019s not going to happen naturally. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So, if parents are thinking, \u201cOkay, I want to be intentional,\u201d\u2014and we want them to be intentional and have some focus. Yet, as soon as you start talking about it\u2014Dennis, you said pace is already a factor\u2014they think: \u201cI don\u2019t have time to be intentional. I don\u2019t have space to be intentional.

So, how would you ever have a time to do something like what we used to do?\u2014which was to make a list of how we are grateful. Each of us, as family members, is grateful for one another. We\u2019d feature one of the kids at the dinner table and say: \u201cLet\u2019s all go around the table. \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\u201cLet\u2019s tell Ashley\u201d\u2014our firstborn\u2014\u201cwhat we appreciate about Ashley.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey\u2019d go around the table. Invariably, they\u2019d share something about: \u201cShe\u2019s cute,\u201d \u201cShe\u2019s kind,\u201d \u201cShe\u2019s nice,\u201d\u2014this. And one of them would always say, \u201cBecause she shares her toys with us.\u201d\u00a0 [Laughter]\u00a0 But it taught them to stop, in the midst of life, and just merely express appreciation for other family members. I don\u2019t think we do that often enough. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You didn\u2019t save that up and make that just something you do on Thanksgiving Day. You were doing this, year round, just occasionally peppering it into a meal?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Yes. Frankly, as you take the temperature of each of your children or of your spouse, there may be a moment when they need this. I admit I\u2019ve come home, on more than one occasion, a little discouraged by things that had taken place, here at FamilyLife; and I was in need of some people believing in me again and expressing appreciation. \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>Barbara: <\/strong>So, it was fun when we would do that. The kids\u2014sometimes, they rolled their eyes and didn\u2019t want to do it\u2014but nonetheless, what it illustrated is that, to be thankful \/ to appreciate another person, you have to step out of the routine. You\u2019ve got to step out of what you normally do, which is to think about yourself and what\u2019s next on your agenda. So, as parents, we have to help our kids step out of their natural bent toward selfishness and help them focus on somebody else because the essence of thanksgiving and gratitude is focusing on someone else. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFor us, as believers, it\u2019s directing our thanksgiving and our gratitude toward the source of everything that we enjoy in life, which is God Himself. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>There are Bible verses that talk about the importance of gratitude. You mentioned that, in your study of Scripture, you\u2019ve come across dozens of verses\u2014well, a couple hundred in the Old Testament\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014and dozens in the New Testament\u2014things like: \u201cGive thanks in all things,\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u00a0[1 Thessalonians 5:18]\u201d \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\tColossians [3:15-17] talks about how thanksgiving needs to be a part of what we do. Reading these verses to our kids\u2014having them memorize these verses \/ memorizing them together with them\u2014this can be a part of how we focus on \/ how we can be intentional about cultivating gratitude in the heart of a child. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It\u2019s one of the ways that parents can train their children in being grateful and being thankful. Again, it\u2019s calling their attention to something that we, as moms and dads, know is important for them and that they need to have as a character quality in their lives because they are not going to do it on their own. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, finding some of these verses\u2014one of the easiest to memorize is, \u201cGive thanks in all things,\u201d\u20141 Thessalonians 5:18. It\u2019s very easy for even a three-year-old or a four-year-old to memorize. It\u2019s just as important for the 18-year-old and the adult because that\u2019s a pretty comprehensive verse. When you stop and think about it\u2014giving thanks in all things\u2014that is never going to run out in anybody\u2019s life. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And if you were to say to your kids\u2014after you memorize a verse like that\u2014say, \u201cNow, I\u2019m going to give a dollar to the first person who can catch me not giving thanks when I ought to be giving\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>That\u2019s a good one. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014\u201cthanks.

But one of the things that Dennis has started doing in the last couple of years is making it a point to thank the TSA workers for their work on our behalf. He\u2019s asked a few of them, \u201cSo, how many people ever thank you for what you do?\u201d\u00a0 And most of them say, \u201cNo one,\u201d or \u201cNever.\u201d\u00a0 And he said, \u201cReally?!\u201d\u00a0 We\u2019ve had TSA agents tell us that they\u2019ve had people spit in their face, and yell at them, and cuss at them, and just all kinds of really, really awful things.

So, to have someone say, \u201cThank you for doing what you\u2019re doing,\u201d would\u2014I would think\u2014make their day. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I was in one airport recently where, after I travelled all the way through security, I got stopped by the head TSA agent.

Was this a \u201cYou don\u2019t get your turkey until you fill out the card\u201d-kind of thing?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Actually, it was\u2014we did it first. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/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 knew that, if we tried to do it during the meal, it would be messy and it would be ridiculous. If we did it afterwards, everybody would want to get up and run; and they were tired of sitting. So, we did do it first; and they didn\u2019t eat until they did the card. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And you didn\u2019t just have them verbalize what they were thankful for, but you had them write it down. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>I had them write it down first. Everyone had a card on their plate with a pencil or a pen. Everybody knows the routine, now. They, sometimes, sit down and start filling out the card without any instruction; but initially, those first few years, I had to help them know that we\u2019re going to write down five things that we are thankful for that happened this year in our lives. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd when the kids were little, they put little things\u2014\u201cI\u2019m thankful for my toy,\u201d\u2014and whatever, but it didn\u2019t matter. I love having those ones from the three-year-olds and the four-year-olds\u2014when they write just a couple of words. As the kids got older and we continued to do this, there were some pretty remarkable sentences written by our older children in their teenage years: \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\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cI\u2019m thankful that I didn\u2019t make the team because I learned about God\u2019s\u2026\u201d\u2014whatever. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s been a great memory-maker for us. I didn\u2019t anticipate that having all of us, including Dennis and me, write down what we\u2019re thankful for\u2014I didn\u2019t think about the storehouse, so to speak, of memories that we were creating. I just wanted them to practice pausing and thinking, \u201cWhat am I grateful for?\u201d and then writing it down. That was the end goal for me. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dennis: <\/strong>It\u2019s interesting.

There is one by our son, Benjamin. He misspelled his name as he was attempting to write it; but he said: \u201cI\u2019m thankful for my family because they can help me when I need it.

And there is something about being together around the table, sharing a meal, that gives you an opportunity. You came up with a spool of napkin ties that have a purpose; right?\u00a0 Explain what this is all about. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, about two or three years ago, we created, as you said, a spool of napkin ties or napkin ribbons. Each one of them has a question printed on it. The idea is to do what we\u2019ve been talking about\u2014find a way to create meaningful conversation. \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\tWe want to be with people we care about, and we want to create memories with them. And the way to do that is to have something meaningful that we do together or we share together in some way or another. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe questions are all about being thankful or being grateful. The idea is that, as everyone gets their napkin and takes the ribbon off of the napkin to put the napkin in your lap, you see that on this piece of ribbon is a question. You can do it anyway you want to in your family\u2014you can do it before the food is served, you can do it as everyone sits down, or you can have everyone save their question and do it at dessert\u2014whatever you want to do. The idea is\u2014you read the question. So, if the three of us are having dinner, I would have you read the question first, Bob. Whatever the question is, then, you would tell us what your answer to that question is. Then, we would go around. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd it\u2019s <em>amazing<\/em> what you learn about people when you answer these questions. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/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\tWe\u2019ve heard phenomenal stories of families, who like most families, just have conversation about the weather or the football game that they are getting ready to go watch; but when they use these napkin ties on their table, even people that they didn\u2019t expect would be open and honest would share. They found that they learned things about one another that they wouldn\u2019t have without the help of these questions. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>There are different questions. So, you have a whole series of different questions on each spool\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Correct. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014so that each person doesn\u2019t have the same question. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes, all the questions are different. One spool has 12 questions. This year, we\u2019re coming out with a second set. So, we\u2019ve got two sets of questions on gratitude. Since most families have a pretty big gathering at Thanksgiving, that allows you to have 24 different questions if you\u2019ve got a big crowd of people. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And the focus is on gratitude with each one?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>They are all on gratitude. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Let me just read a couple of them here: \u201cWhat little things are you thankful for today?\u201d\u00a0 Now, you don\u2019t think of that possibly opening up a serious conversation between family members; but you may have a family member who you really haven\u2019t had a meaningful conversation with in a long time.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/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\tSo, these questions\u2014in fact, I know one son who invited his dad to come to their Thanksgiving celebration.
