This is story is a great reminder for kids (and grown-ups) that the good news of Jesus is for everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving! To help you prepare your kids for Thanksgiving week we have a fun episode of the True Tale Trail podcast that’s all about turkeys! What do turkeys have to do with the Bible?

Well, as it turns out turkeys have incredible eyesight. They can see almost all the way around themselves (a 270 degree field of vision!) and can see ultraviolet light undetected by the human eye! In other words, turkeys can spot things people miss.

Unfortunately, that’s not all we humans miss. Sometimes we miss out on God’s activity and blessings in our lives too! All too often our eyes are focused on ourselves instead of on God and His goodness.

In today’s episode we’ll be talking about developing thankful hearts and thankful eyes that see how good God has been to us! When we train ourselves to look for God’s blessings — big and small — we start to see them everywhere. We call that having thankful eyes, and it changes everything.

Download the “Thankful Eyes Worksheet” to send your kids on a thankfulness scavenger hunt looking for good things God has placed in their lives.
