Over the next couple of days I am going to share a couple of simple, cheap gift ideas for your family members for Valentine Day. These ideas can also be used for other days, just to simply remind each other that we love them or that we are thinking about them. When my children were in Highschool (incredibly difficult time whether we realize it or not) I would sneak treats into their lockers just to let them know that their Daddy and I loved them. And if I knew certain friends were having a hard time I would do the same for them just them an encouraging word. It was a little effort on my part, a little money every once in a while, but it meant the world to them. Also, more importantly I was training them to walk in the footsteps of our Jesus Christ, To Encourage One Another!
I Love this "Families Survival Kit" because it reminds us of simple ways to help each other out as a family and you know, it really is that simple to love one another! I hope you will consider making this as a gift to your family for Valentines Day! They will love it and it will provide a good laugh together also! Also, can you imagine sending them to read this when they get into trouble?
