Pre-Thanks [One Minute Feature]

Thanksgiving is a day where most of us briefly reflect on the things that we are thankful for. We may even have traditions around telling others about our gratitude.

Pre-Thanks [One Minute Feature]

What if, however, we took more time to reflect on our thanksgiving? What would it look like to take a week to reflect and pray about the things for which we are grateful?

A New Thanksgiving Tradition

This Thanksgiving, try giving your kids an assignment that’ll be both festive and good for their brains. On the week leading up to Thanksgiving, have them write down one thing they can thank and praise God for every day. On Thanksgiving, before eating your turkey and dressing, have your kids share what they’ve written down and are thankful for.

By doing this, you’ll likely be causing chemical reactions in their brains that could be the equivalent of taking one Wellbutrin or one Prozac! Now that’s a good way to not only enjoy a great Thanksgiving meal, but to also help diminish the chances of the holiday blues.

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
“I am so thrilled to know that there are those out there who are standing on the authority of God’s Word in this age of compromise; teaching parents…to pass on that spiritual legacy to the next generation.” - Ken Ham,  CEO & Founder of Answers in Genesis
