Make "Give Thanks" Rocks - Short And Sweet

Verses: "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18 

Goal: Make a craft that helps to remind your child to give thanks to God.

 Parent preparation: 

• Get supplies: flat rocks, sharpie, paper (it works easier if it is thin), modgepodge (or thin white glue with water), brush. 
• Read 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Psalm 106:1, 1 Thessalonians 1:2, 1 Timothy 6:6-8

What to do:

• Find flat rocks.
• Wash the rocks. 
• Read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 and talk with your child about always giving thanks to God. 
• Make a list together of things that we can always give thanks to God for. 
• Have your child pick which of these things to put on a rock. 
•  Write on a piece of paper with a sharpie.
•  Paint modgepodge on rock, put piece of paper on rock and paint over it (really soak the paper).
• Let it dry. 
• Display somewhere to remind you and your child about giving thanks to God.
