A Gift

Today was my turn to teach Sunday School. Even though it would have been nice to sleep in on Mother's Day, I was really excited to teach the Preschoolers about Pentecost. We made all kinds of crafts using the symbols of the Holy Spirit and then we had cherry chip cupcakes in honor of the Church's birthday. To His disciples, Jesus referred to the coming of the Holy Spirit as "a gift" from God. A Comforter to stay with them for always. In a way, it's kind of neat that Mother's Day and Pentecost Sunday coincided. I know we aren't God bestowing one of the greatest things ever for all of mankind, but still...a special gift for special people. It makes the gift that I gave my mom mean more to me. Does that sound silly? I mean, it was something created especially for her and I want her to feel comforted when she uses it. I also want to be remembered.


Below is the necklace I made for Mom for Mother's Day. It's called "All Things Bright and Beautiful."
