Amber in SJ Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I just wanted to throw this out there as a gift idea: 2 years ago my mom realized she needed a large print Bible, but she was really dragging her feet about getting one because she thought it made her look old to pull it out at church. Well before Christmas I bought her a set of large print scriptures, leather bound with her name on the front. I had my kids choose and mark a favorite scripture. They could write a little note for Grammy, or their name or just initials. I sent it to my brother who lives the farthest away and he did the same with his kids. He then sent it to the closest sibling to him (a sister) she sent it to our youngest brother who finally sent it to our oldest sister who lives in the same town as my parents. By that time it was colorfully marked and the blank end pages were filled with little love notes, testimonies & pictures from the 16 grandkids ages 2-21. That sister wrapped it to give to Mom on Christmas. She said it was her favorite gift ever, and she loved to take it to church with her.

gardenmom5 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 That sounds really cool. Might even make me give up scriptures on my phone or tablet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
