Provide deeper understandings on gratitude

To make them experience gratitude

We are asking for something or the other continuously in our minds. In fact we are so much in tune with asking, that it has become an unconscious process within us and we might not even accept that we are asking. We don't even see it as asking. It has become a natural way of life! We have become very involved in it and therefore unable to distance ourselves from it and see it with a fresh mind.

We take everything for granted and remain discontented! Remember that life itself is a gift for you!

Have you worked hard to get it? Can any of you say that you have worked very hard to earn this life? No! That is why we don't realize its value! We simple take everything for granted. Our bodies, our daily good, the beauty of Nature, everything is taken for granted.

We ask God for diamond rings but do we thank him for giving us fingers to wear them? With time, even the diamond ring will lose its value to us!

Everything becomes small to us when it is easily available. There are so many millions of people in this world who can't see, who can't hear, who can't talk, who can't taste. We never think of these things. We are always taking more, what is better, what is next, all the time.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

PROCEDURE: Encourage the children to draw a picture and also color the picture with the eyes closed. Ask them how they felt when doing this.

INFERENCE: There are so many people in this world who can't see. We never think of all these We are always thinking of what more, what better, what next all the time.

THE DAY

BLIND FOLD JIGSAW

Blindfold each player in turn and have them put it together.

The player who does it correctly in the shortest amount of time is the winner.
