Together, we’ll make a gratitude FOREST!

Gratitude Tree
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:

  1. 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).
  2. 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!
  3. On the leaf, write one thing you’re grateful for.
  4. 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!

I just noticed this cool idea in December .I can start now. Hey I thought of some thing. After this month I can start the year being grateful. I am kinda weak in this area. I like the idea of a tree on my wall. Where I can see it ever day

I am grateful for my grandmother she turned 100 today. She passed away in 2000. I miss her and her smile. I grateful that I can remember her today and remember that she needs to be sealed to her parents after having had been baptized 10 years ago in the temple. My hope is to go today and have her sealed to her parents on her birthday. Her smile on her pictures lets me know that despite trials and hardships of life, there is something to smile about. Being alive is a great blessing. I can smile because my grandmothers smiles.

It's a way for me to give Thanks everyday in November leading up to Thanksgiving Day.
