Summary
This week we are discussing gratefulness and the importance of a good memory when it comes to knowing what God has done for us. We talk about places in the Bible where people gave thanks, even when their situations were less than optimal.
God is the giver of all good things and therefore worthy of our praise. As we celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s pray that our children exude gratefulness in the big and the small, the successes and the failures, and the trials and the triumphs. Pray that they grasp that all things come from him; therefore, we praise his mighty name.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Cynthia Yannall. Thank you so much for being with us again on Pardon the Mess as we continue praying for our kids through the school year. This week we are praying gratefulness, which is only appropriate since it's the week of Thanksgiving. Our verse of the week is First Chronicles 29, 12 through 14. Wealth and honor come from you. You are the week of Thanksgiving. Our verse of the week is First Chronicles 29, 12 through 14. |
| 0:22.5 | Wealth and honor come from you. You are the ruler of all things, and your hands are strength |
| 0:27.4 | and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now our God, we give you thanks and praise your |
| 0:33.1 | glorious name. I love the concept of praying gratefulness for our kids this week of Thanksgiving |
| 0:38.3 | because hopefully it'll be easy to remember to pray it as we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving |
| 0:43.4 | and what it stands for being obviously a secular holiday, but for those of us who are believers, |
| 0:47.8 | it means so much more. But spending the week just praying that for our kids, that they will be |
| 0:52.5 | grateful in the big things and the small things. Because gratefulness is something I think that can mark you as a believer |
| 0:58.6 | and really how you respond to things in life. I am super sophisticated this way. So I googled |
| 1:04.2 | the word gratefulness or actually the opposite of gratefulness. And I just want to see what it said |
| 1:09.6 | was the opposite of gratitude. And this is so |
| 1:12.2 | interesting. I think it tells like its own complete story when you look at what the opposite is. |
| 1:16.7 | And the opposite of gratefulness is unappreciativeness, unthankfulness. And there's several |
| 1:23.3 | others. But this is the one that got me, non-recognition. Think about that. The opposite of being |
| 1:29.8 | grateful is just not recognizing what you have, not recognizing who it's from. You just don't |
| 1:34.8 | acknowledge it. And I don't know about your house, but I think that's what's going on a lot in my |
| 1:39.1 | house, not necessarily that I identify that they're ungrateful for what they have, but maybe just don't |
| 1:45.0 | recognize all that they have. And so that reminded me of a viral video that's out right now. I don't |
| 1:50.7 | know if you've seen it, but a church in Charlotte released a Christmas video. I think it was |
| 1:55.1 | advertising their next sermon series. And it shows a man who wakes up in his bed and next time is his wife who is wrapped in |
| 2:03.4 | wrapping paper like she's a gift and he's shocked he's like oh my gosh I have a wife and then |
| 2:08.8 | everything he does throughout his morning is wrapped in paper and it's showing him it's a gift so he goes |
