Thankful Thoughts

Group members receive a tangible expression of thanks from the rest of the group.

Give each person a piece of paper and have them write their first names in big letters at the top of the page. Then, have them pass the paper to the person on their right. Ask group members to write a word of thanks to the person whose name is on the paper. For example: "Jen, thank you for always being here on time," or, "Jason, thank you for praying for me on a regular basis."

After a minute or two, have each person pass the paper to the next group member on their right, and continue until each person gets their own paper back. At this point, group members can read them out loud or tuck them away to experience privately.
