That gift is love, I John 4:11~ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
I've been busy today making gift baskets for friends who need a little cheering up. Here are a few ideas, for making these baskets. I am calling these my spring baskets and you will see why. I will make three baskets with plenty left over.
We always need some whimsical, to make us smile, blowing bubbles, stuffed animal, small figurines,
an Easter cube puzzle.
Lets not forget to freshen our rooms, love these fragrances for spring.
Shower gel and cream are nice gifts too, great sale!
Number one is completed and will be delivered this afternoon,, My dear friend had back surgery, this week, after having a head-on collision over a year ago. She is doing well! But still has a lot of surgeries ahead of her. Prayers for a quick recovery are needed. Remember, only one is to be opened each day, and NO PEEKING!~WINK~
I am off to finish two more to be mailed.
Personal note:
I have so much fun finding items, wrapping and giving them, but why do this one might ask? Because I have experienced prolonged illnesses, and each gift of love meant so much to me.
The items in the basket, are not expensive at all, and if you know me, I'm such a bargain hunter, every thing was on sale, I love nice things and I wait until they are on sale.
This has been such a busy work week for us, we have accomplished so much! Having a break in the weather has been such a blessings.
May your day be filled with many blessings.

What a lovely way to help someone who is homebound and needs encouragement. Your ideas are good and thoughtful. God bless and help and heal those you are giving them to.
What a wonderful idea to brighten someone’s day. Love shared gives love right back. Enjoy your day dear friend. Hugs
It's always fun to put together gifts that you know will bring joy! It really is more blessed to give than receive...but we receive so much as well! I volunteer at a Hospice house once a week as a patient visitor and I'm making cards to put on their bulletin boards. I enjoy making them and they are appreciated by the patients AND their families. Keep up the good work! Spreading JOY!!! Hugs, Diane
Those are so cute. You are so sweet to give those out.
