Chrismas in July

At first glance, it is easy to look at a towel as a most ordinary object. Have you ever stopped to think that for thousands of years, the towel has been used for many wonderful purposes? For example, the mother who wipes the tears of a child to soothe an emotional or physical hurt, the physician who binds the wounds of a bleeding patient, or the woman in her home wiping her hands as she moves from task to task. 

Perhaps the most significant use of the towel happened nearly two thousand years ago when our Savior, only hours before He hung on the cross, took an ordinary towel in His loving hands and dried the feet of His disciples. This simple, loving act personifies the selflessness and loving service we seek to give during our lives. It illustrates that an ordinary thing like a towel, in the right hands, and with a giving heart, can lighten another’s load. As with every action performed by the Savior on this earth, His act of service reminds us that simple day-to-day kindnesses are the Savior’s way to bless and comfort.

Tag idea: “This towel is given with love and with the hope you will do works of goodness with it as the Savior did so many years ago. May the absorbing spirit of the season blot our problems, soak up sorrows, wipe away difficulties, and may your holidays be shining and bright!’

Yes I am already thinking about Christmas...This year I want to steer away from too much temporal things and go more meaningful. I saw a bunch of great Neighbor gifts but this one really caught my eye in the fact that it was very meaningful and really portrays the Saviors Character and I want to bring that out this season! I will give this as a FHE gift for families and neighbors to use during their FHE if they choose to do so.  So this is what I am giving...If you are my neighbor, don't peak! I got the idea from LDS living.com

I will not want to bake for I will have a new little wee one so I won't have time to do that but I love this idea! I have, I know this will be shocking to some of you but I have decided to not shop until after Thanksgiving! I usually start in August or September. I want my husbands opinion this year and his help, I usually do all of the shopping.
