I love this time of year because it helps us to remember to show gratitude. So last night for family home evening we shared the the story of the Thank You Pie. Then afterwards, we took some pies that we had baked and gave them to the kids' church teachers as a thank you gift for teaching them. As we were talking about being thankful for others we got to color a pie and talk about the people in our lives that we are thankful for. I really enjoy Family Home Evening.

Then after we had delivered all the pies we came home and ate a chocolate pie for a treat.
Speaking of pies, did you know that at the first Thanksgiving they did not have pie, not even pumpkin pie? I had my classes do a Thanksgiving Webquest to learn about the first Thanksgiving. It was a really informative site. Check it out:

Reading about the the first Thanksgiving makes me grateful for living in this beautiful country where we have religious freedom and other freedoms. That is why they came here because they wanted to worship God freely and not how the king dictated.
