I was inspired by a great Relief Society lesson today on gratitude to only give thanks in our family prayers for the entire month of November and to reserve asking for favors and blessings for individual prayers. We tried it tonight in family prayer, and I was surprised at the difference it made. I realized our family has not been in the habit of giving much thought or appreciation in our prayers for our blessings. We're also challenging ourselves to not repeat what was said in previous prayers. Amen!
