The kids each picked a different kind of cookie to make and we've taken them to church meetings, Christmas parties, and even a funeral!  

Our seasonal GLOW packs!  We have these handy in our car and give them our everywhere we go. Sometimes we hand them to people...sometimes we just leave them for people to find.  

Last Sabbath someone gave us some treats with "the giving plate."  We were supposed to enjoy the treats and then pass on some more homemade treats with the plate to someone else. The gift is supposed to keep on getting. We made ours a little bit healthier because there are so many sweets going around Christmas time.  We put in some mixed nuts, some popcorn, some tea, and then a few homemade cookies and passed it along to someone else.

Every month the Pathfinders and Adventurers go to the nursing home to sing on the second Sabbath.  We thought it would be a neat idea to take little Merry Christmas treat bags to the workers at the nursing home. They enjoyed them so much!  

David had to go up to the conference office for a meeting not long ago. I had these soaps from Bath and Body Works that I had gotten in case I needed to give a gift to someone unexpectedly. The night before he went to the conference office the idea popped into my head, "Send a gift to the receptionist at the conference office. She does so much and probably doesn't get thanked very often."  So I sent this soap up there with a Merry Christmas and a thank you for all you do. David said she was just amazed, excited, and touched. Later I got a thank you in the mail and it was really neat to see how the Lord had given me such a neat idea for a random act of kindness!
