PRACTICE EXERCISE #4: 3 x 3 x 3 - A Day's Gratefulness & Appreciation (by Chris & Jen Coursey)
DIRECTIONS: Partners > Give examples from the day, or the day before, and take turns sharing. You share one, your partner shares another, and so on back and forth until you both name three things for each part. By Yourself > Journal your personal answers and share it with that friend later. Small Group > Pair up people to do this partner activity. For a quick, simpler version in a small group, you can just do it whole-group with each person sharing only 1 for each part (1 x 1 x 1), and assigning the person to the left or right as the other person they are to appreciate.
Name Three...
Things from your day for which you feel thankful
Qualities you appreciate about the other person
Qualities about God you appreciate
