Gifts From Our Children
Vicky Bergem
San Diego
As a mom, I love the gifts my children make for me. This year I waited patiently to see what goodies come home from church and school for Mother's Day Yes, I do love receiving gifts bought from the store, but I treasure the gifts my children make. Nothing compares to gifts made with L.O.V.E.! I love the creativity and I love their excitement as they tease me, saying they are making something but I cannot I have it now. They sneak it into the house and tell me not to look under their bed or in their closet. Oh, the temptation they put in front of me!
My treasures include painted pictures, hand-made cards, potted plants and hand-crafted flowers.
As a Children's Ministry Co-ordinator, I am always looking for fun craft projects children can do to encourage someone else. I get a lot of ideas from the Internet and magazines here in the US – but I would love to share YOUR ideas!
