And add leaves to it every day.
Just like a seed is the beginning of a tree, “a grateful heart is a beginning to greatness.”1
Let’s make it a GREAT month by making gratitude trees together! Here’s how:
- Draw a tree—but don’t draw any leaves on it yet. Your tree can be small (in a notebook) or big (on a poster).
- Each day, add a leaf to your tree. You could draw it right on your tree or cut it out of colored paper. Get creative with it!
- On the leaf, write one thing you’re grateful for.
- If you run out of room, make your leaves overlap or draw a second tree. Just don’t stop being grateful!
We would love to see how your trees look! Once you add a few leaves, share a picture with us at youth@ChurchofJesusChrist.org and include “Gospel Living” in the subject line. We can’t wait to watch our forest grow!
Tree Time
Draw a tree and invite a friend to make one too!
