You can make a difference in the lives of your family members every single day. Today I want you to be purposeful with how you spend your time. Be thankful for all of your blessings today. As you go about your day doing your Weekly Home Blessings, review in your mind the things you are thankful for. Ask your children what they are thankful for. Talk about thankfulness and blessings around the dinner table tonight.
