About this audiobook

Growing a Thankful Heart is a warm, uplifting guide for children and families who want to grow in gratitude, joy, and a deeper awareness of God’s care in everyday life. Through gentle coaching, relatable family examples, thoughtful reflection questions, and simple practical habits, this book helps readers see that thankfulness is more than saying “thank you.” It is a way of noticing good gifts, daily mercies, loving care, and quiet moments of grace that are often easy to miss. With faith woven naturally throughout, Meg Austria invites families to build a more peaceful, appreciative, and joy-filled home—one where gratitude is practiced not only on easy days, but also in ordinary and difficult ones. This third book in the Coaching in a Year series encourages children and parents alike to slow down, notice what is good, and grow a thankful heart that becomes steadier, softer, and stronger over time.
