just as grandma's cookie jar should always be full of good things, this blog will be full of good ideas, information, activities and reviews of things to help grandma . . . and grandpa, mom and dad too . . . pass on a heritage of faith to the children in their lives!
My church has a large Special Needs Ministry and so, my grandsons are going to do a project this Wednesday evening to show love as people arrive for their Wednesday evening service. We have been making origami boxes and hearts - each box will have one heart in it and the boys will give one to each person as they arrive; along with a smile and the encouragement - "God loves you!" Whether your church has a Special Needs Ministry or not, this is a project you are able to do with your grandchildren to brighten the day of others. You will find the directions for making the origami box at this link and the origami heart at this link. If the origami projects are too difficult for your grandchildren, have them color the paper you use to make the boxes and hearts, then have them go with you to hand them out and brighten the day of others. Involving the children we love in showing love to others is one of the most powerful things we will do as grandmas (grandpas/parents) - and one of the things which will make a lasting impact on them as well.
