Thankfulness Bag
January 15th, 2009
As I unpack into my new home, I am finding items that had been packed up long ago…..photos, scrapbooks, cards, etc….I kept each of them as they were special to me in one way or another. The item I came across last evening I felt a desire to share, I hope others enjoy it as much as I do… All of the items were placed inside a brown paper lunch bag and I had received it from my daughter when she was 3 years old.
THANKFULNESS BAG INGREDIENTS:
1. A rubber band: to keep our hearts tied together always.
2. A candy kiss: to say thank you for all of your love
3. A penny: to say thank you for sharing my thoughts and letting me know they are important to you
4. A warm fuzzy: to make you feel good when you are sad, like you always do for me
5. An adhesive bandage: to say thank you for all the times you make my hurts feel better
6. A facial tissue: to say thank you for all the times you dry my tears
7. A piece of Lifesavers candy: a circle to show that my love for you will never end.
The note attached: “Thank you for your loving care and the kindness that you share. For helping me to learn and grow, and showing me all that you know. That’s why I just want to say, “THANK YOU” in the biggest way!”
What a wonderful way to start each and every day…thinking of how thankful we are for those who bless our lives. I encourage everyone to take a moment today to call a friend and just say “Thank you for being part of my world, I appreciate the gift of your friendship.”
In gratitude,
Caryn
