Making Memory Lists: A Thanksgiving Tool and Template

This is an activity you will want to work on and off over the next week. 

If you want to list more than ten, go for it! The minimum is 10. 25 is even better. 

With every list at least 5 new memories, but you can keep 5 from the other lsits if you want. Just give a different answer each time you repeat them as to why you are grateful for them. Our memories have shaped who we are today and mark our faith journey.
