Click on this link somuch-scott to hear a fun, thankful song that the children love. I couldn’t remember exactly how it went so I called our good friend and minister of music, Scott Eaton, and got him to sing it over the phone. Start with your hands together and as you sing the song pull them further and further apart until your arms are wide open. Bring your hands back together in a big clap before the last phrase.
You can sing this next song to the tune of :”Frere Jacques” also known as “Are You Sleeping?” Sing it with hands folded in prayer and head bowed:
We are thankful
We are thankful
Yes we are
Yes we are
Thankful for our food
Thankful for our family
Give God thanks
Give God thanks
This would be a good time to memorize Psalm 100 or any psalm of thanks. If your child can’t read yet, try making a picture for the main words in the psalm to help in memorizing.
Psalm 100:1-5
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: 
Come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,and into his courts with praise: 
Be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.
awww Scott! Good post!
Hi Sheilah-My name is Kelli and I used to work with Becca. I am SO thankful she shared this website with me! I have a 10 month old and sometimes I just feel like the days go by so fast and I have nothing to show for it! Your website really helps me be more intentional about teaching her about Jesus.
Thanks for being a blessing!
