30 Days of Gratitude Mom-Daughter Challenge

In these challenging days, there are still many, many things that a believer in Jesus Christ can have gratitude for.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

ALL circumstances? Really? Yes, for the believer in Jesus.

As moms, our attitudes toward an unpredictable life, hard times, unmet expectations, and foiled plans can rub off easily on our daughters–for the good or bad!

And let’s face it, 2020 has been a continuous rolling snowball containing all of the above and then some!

So if our daughters are watching and possibly mimicking how we respond in this season, we should definitely take a good look at our gratitude levels.

It’s a challenge to be thankful in challenging times, isn’t it?

I’m the first to admit it. But I’m up for a good challenge. How about you? How about your daughter?

So, friends, moms, girls, let’s do this:

Let’s do a 30 Days of Gratitude Mom-Daughter Challenge.

Below is a list of 30 things that can start grateful thoughts and conversations rolling with your daughter! You can even click this link for a printable list to stick on your fridge!

Talk about what you’re grateful for first thing in the morning to start the day out right. Or, talk about it at dinnertime with the whole family. Or discuss gratitude right before bed as a way to reflect on the day God has gotten you through. Imagine the difference it could make in your heart, your daughter’s heart, and your home.

Write them in a journal, post them on the wall, or just have a conversation. Memorize 1 Thessalonians 5:18 if you want! Whatever way you choose, giving gratitude in ALL circumstances honors God and shines his light through us, especially in the toughest of seasons.
