During chapel on Thursday mornings at Whetstone, we practice the art of gratitude. We take about 15 minutes to write down 10 things that we are each grateful for, and then we read them out loud. The best ones get transferred to neon colored sticky notes which are then placed upon one of the 5 big white doors that line the schoolroom. We try to focus on the people and relationships in our lives, as well as events that have happened in the last week…because the science of happiness supports this approach.
Today, there are over 1,000 of these notes, each one an Ebenezar declaring God’s faithfulness to our boys, their families, and our staff through the toughest of times.  
On this episode of A Time to Sharpen, we’ll discuss strategies for increasing joy by practicing thankfulness throughout the year, not just when you’ve had your fill of feasting and football.
