Speaking from the Heart

I've been fussing at my children, because lately , I have to remind them to say,

Every Sunday and Wednesday, I would drop the kids in front of the church before parking the car. Unless I remind them, thank you goes unsaid.

Bothered by this ungratefulness, I tried to figure how I can encourage more verbal language of gratefulness. It dawned on me that the kids are not the only ones who are ungrateful. When was the last time I said

for loading/unloading the diswasher, folding the clothes, or cleaning the bathroom? Yes, an apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I must capture this moment to teach my children gratitude.
