Be Thankful

On our way home from church yesterday, my husband asked the kids what they had learned in Children’s Church. Our oldest, who is ten, said;

                As you go through life,

                Make it your goal,

                To look at the donut,

                Not the hole.

Shane, then asked, “What does that mean?” Our middle kid, who is eight, said;

                Look at the things you have,

                Not the things you don’t have.

I have a feeling that this little poem is going be quoted in our house repeatedly for years to come. What a great message to remind our children (and ourselves) to be thankful for what we have been given.
