[quote=Anonymous]We are not rich but  I want 7yo DD to appreciate what she has. I make a point of getting her involved with situations where she can that others don't have what she has. Thru Church has been the easist for us, today she made sandwiches for the homeless at Sunday school ( they do it once a month and drop at a place that hands them out) . 
The Church also does food for a local Elem school for sprink break and winter break. When we were filling the bags with cereal etc I told her that the kids who got this specific bag get whats in the bag for their meal. They don't get to choose what cereal they want, or if they want pancakes etc. The breakfast they get is the box of regular cheerios that has been provided. Same with their other meals.

At dinner time we do a high and low for the day and what we are thankful for. The thankful has to be specific to the day or a situation that happened that day. Not a generic friends and family response.
I have been thankful for having a doctors office that is only 10 mins away, a library we can walk to , a car to go places in, because not everyone has those things.......Pick the things that apply to you.[/quote]
