Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In a culture that often fuels comparison and entitlement, what if the real key to joy is something far simpler — gratitude?
In this episode, LadyK explores how practicing thankfulness can transform families, classrooms, and communities. With stories from The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder and insights from The Entitlement Trap by Richard & Linda Eyre, she unpacks why gratitude isn’t just a good habit — it’s a safeguard for freedom and flourishing.
You’ll discover:
•Why gratitude builds resilience and character in children.
•How entitlement robs us of joy — and what to do about it.
•Practical ways to bring gratitude into daily life.
•Timeless wisdom from Scripture and classic literature that point us back to gratitude as the antidote to entitlement.
Listen in and be inspired to plant seeds of gratitude that grow into stronger families and a freer society.
