I was thinking about how special some people are in our lives. They sacrifice their time, money and effort to prepare for us. Whether that's our mother & father raising us up in the fear of the Lord, our friend baking us a batch of cookies for a treat, someone stopping on the side of the road to give our car a jump-start, or a pastor's wife bringing hot soup when we're not well... we can probably each think of sometime in our life when we've been cared for and blessed by someone else's sacrifice.
When I think of the sacrifice someone has made for me, I want to likewise bless them. It's not always possible. But sometimes - it IS. Let's create a little something this year to thank our hostess next time we are graced with an invite to a meal, or even to go out to coffee and enjoy the relaxation of a cordial conversation. It doesn't have to be to a great Thanksgiving Day Feast. But it can be. Let's do this!
You can whip a these together for just a few bucks and without a big time
hassle. (The supplies can be found at dollar stores or craft stores, and
the DIY part only takes a short time.) I love that, because then I can
invest more into the
spices for my projects, and even make jars for several of my dear friends!
Join me over at Bulk Herb Store Blog for the rest of this project - I've shared three scrumptious potpourri recipes, as well as some links, and step-by-step instructions on how to make your own
And one last thing. Since this post is all about thanking people who've shared their lives or given from their time, I'd like to state my thankfulness the precious ladies at BHS Blog for sharing their talent and beautiful photos!
What ways do you show your thankfulness for those who've sacrificed for you?
