A Gift that Keeps on Giving
A couple of years ago, I had two very dear friends who would be spending much of Christmas alone. That year, I took a basket and picked out seven inexpensive gifts (such as a pocket calendar, candy, etc.) and wrapped them individually with a scripture and note attached to them. They were given the instructions to open one gift a day, seven days prior to Christmas.
This year, I expanded it to my co-workers, and picked out gifts for the five weekdays prior to Christmas. They were excited to come to work each morning to “open their gift”.
Not only is this a small way to provide a gift, but more importantly, it is a sweet way to offer a part of you to each recipient.
I have now decided that this can be done in a variety of ways without having to wait for Christmas. I know several young women that are having struggles with different issues and have started thinking of different gifts that can give them hope and encouragement.
