"I Love You"

If you have children, you know there is nothing like

getting that craft they make at school, church, etc.

No matter what it is, you know you will always cherish it.

Over the years, I have received many a craft from my son.

Some have long since gone or being put into storage.

However, there is one that I still have on proud display for all 

to see when they come into my home.

I do not exactly remember when this little craft was made by JJ.

I seem to recall it was during a vacation bible school at Judson

Baptist Church. All I do remember is that when JJ brought it home,

it immediately was placed on the door handle of my front door.

There is hung until we moved. It has now been hanging on

my living room closet door for almost three years now.

It is nothing fancy. Just four Popsicle sticks, some black

construction paper, white paint and yarn. But honestly,

it means everything to me.

It is faded and looking old.  However, 

that little "I Love You" sign will always have

a special place in my heart. First, because he was so excited

to give it to me. Second, because I will always have an "I Love You"

when he is grown and gone.

I guess that is why I get so excited about doing crafts with my

babies at work. I hope we make something for a mommy/daddy

that they will still have "hanging around" after 11 years and many more.

So, here is to little crafts and "I Love Yous"!

Have a wonderful night everyone!

Love to you all!
