Use this Thanksgiving acrostic as a source of scriptures for mealtime conversations during November. Share one of the Bible statements. Take time to talk about what it says and what it means to you. Get ideas from different family members about what each Bible quotation can mean in everyday life. Together thank God for His word and His promises.
