  • Summary

  • In a world that often celebrates abundance and consumption, instilling a spirit of genuine thankfulness can feel like an uphill climb for parents. In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa explore the challenges and blessings of raising daughters who are grounded in gratitude. Join Rachael and Melissa as they share personal holiday traditions and stories that underscore the power of thanksgiving—not just as a holiday, but as a transformative heart posture. In a society focused on acquiring more, gratitude can seem like a lost art, especially in the lives of our young girls. Rachael and Melissa dig into how gratitude, even in difficult times, offers peace, resilience, and a deepened trust in God. Reflecting on 1 Thessalonians 5:18, the hosts unpack why practicing thankfulness daily can shift our focus from what we lack to the abundance God provides. They also share practical ways to incorporate Scripture into Thanksgiving gatherings, like reading verses aloud that celebrate God’s enduring love (1 Chronicles 16:34). To deepen this season's focus, Melissa and Rachael explore practical and heartfelt conversation starters you can share with your daughter—whether at the dinner table or during quiet moments in the kitchen. From the peace that gratitude brings in challenging times (Philippians 4:6-7) to the joy of learning contentment in a culture of excess, they’ll guide you in shaping moments that help your daughter see gratitude as more than a seasonal sentiment. Through stories of service and connection, Rachael and Melissa show how gratitude also grows through giving. They share how engaging in acts of kindness, like volunteering at a soup kitchen, can transform a girl's heart and deepen her empathy for others. With practical tips and uplifting Scripture, this episode offers inspiration for nurturing a grateful, God-centered spirit in your daughter, not just for Thanksgiving, but every day of the year. Tune in, pause to reflect, and equip your family with ideas that foster a legacy of thanksgiving!
