Ephesians 5:20 “Giving Thanks always for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” I love November because, with the Thanksgiving Holiday, we are asked to remember all that we are thankful for. I wish every month of the year could have the same theme. Here in the wonderful, blessed, world of preschool, we are talking about all the things we can thank God for. So often when our little ones share in class, the number one thing they are thankful for is YOU! Mommies and Daddies. Me too! Thank you for all you do to support our school and help it to be such a special place for kids to grow in knowledge and in love. As we learn about thankfulness this month, take time as a family to talk about all the wonders of God’s world that you are thankful for. A warm coat, a meal with friends, a hug from Grandma or Grandpa, a pretty flower growing in an unexpected place, or my favorite, a small hand that sneaks up to hold yours. What a small sweet gesture that happens for just a short blink of time. Enjoy the preschool years and give thanks for your precious little one. Blessings!
