It’s Thanksgiving week, and if you’ve spent any time listening to our conversations or hanging out with us over the last few years, you know that THANKSGIVING and gratitude are huge topics of conversations around here. Since David began his lengthy study on the subject, he’s found creative ways to tie just about every conversation we have to gratitude in some way. We tease him about it all the time, but the truth is that we’ve learned a TON from him on this and we’ve all grown because of it. I guess you could say he’s put things together for all of us to pass on wisdom like we discussed last week.  This week, though, I am excited to let him share with you and your children a little more about the foundations of Thanksgiving and how that factors in to the way we’ll celebrate together later this week. We want to make sure that none of us allow the turkey to hijack our thanksgiving!

Today’s podcast is sponsored by our friends at Creating A Masterpiece.  Creating a Masterpiece provides award-winning drawing classes for your children, taught by an expert instructor, and we can’t recommend them highly enough. If your student has an interest in drawing, this is the program for them. It was designed by master artist and teacher, Sharon Hofer, to empower students who love to draw, but honestly drawing is a skill anyone can learn. You don’t have to be gifted. In this program Sharon will teach students step-by-step how to plan, develop, and enhance carefully designed projects– all using easily accessible tools. You can learn more about Creating A Masterpiece and even get a free sample lesson by going to teachthemdiligently.net/cam

The Transform Journal David created is an overflow of his study on Thanksgiving throughout the Psalms. It’s a 40-day, habit-creating, gratitude-instilling journal that will remake the way you think about things. There’s a lot of teaching like you’ll hear in this episode, along with a deeper look at 40 of the times that Thanksgiving is mentioned in the Psalms. He’ll also help you strategically journal your way through building this mental habit that will be so transformational for you and for your family.
