I recently learned about a family tradition that I want to introduce to my family this year. It’s a blessing book. It’s simply a family journal that gets updated once a year. A notebook, scrapbook or journal will suffice. On Thanksgiving, each member of the family writes down one thing that they are thankful for (a blessing) during that year. I am not sure my husband and I can keep it to one thing so I may need to adjust that part of the tradition. After all, we should make this tradition our own, shouldn’t we? For my youngest children, I will help them jot down their note or even better, have them draw out their blessing. I cannot possibly imagine how much this book will mean to me 10, 20 or 30 years from now.
The more I think about this the more I love it. Is updating the blessing book every week too often?!
I love this idea!
Hi Holly. Did you start a blessing book? I picked up a beautiful leather bound journal at Barnes and Nobles. The had a great selection of journals to choose from.
We didn’t start a book, but we all wrote down what we were thankful for on fall leaves cut from paper. I will be saving them in some sort of book that we can add to next year. ;0)
