crafting with grandma - Mother's Day Wind Chimes!

If you are looking for a craft you could help your grandchildren make for their mom for Mother's Day, consider this one I found on Pinterest  . . . wind chimes!!! They will be able to decorate the clay pots however they like - just give them permanent ink pens . . . yes, I know the potential for getting ink on them is quite high, but you'll be able to remove or cover their shirts and have anti-bacterial hand gel available because a little of this takes ink off of hands . . . and arms . . . and faces . . . pretty much any skin which they may get ink on! And yes, they are more likely than not to get ink on their skin!

Just for Fun!!! Did You Know . . . Bees Knees!

Did you know . . . every bee has a special brush located on its knees  which it uses to clean the pollen out of its breathing apparatus when it comes out of a flower. Without the brush, the bee will  suffocate. God designed the bee to have this brush because He knew what each part of His creation needed to survive!

Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures for You & the Parents & Grandparents You Love

 

Over the past few years I have written several books which guide parents and grandparents in praying through the Scriptures for their own walk with God and for their children/ grandchildren's walk as well. I led the G@P (Generations at Prayer) group at my church and we worked through my books, so last year I wrote a new book for my group to use with a focus on praying both Old and New Testament passages for the children we love who are walking with God and those who are not. Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures is available in paperback and makes a fantastic gift for the parents and grandparents you love!

As our son and daughter-in-law were heading out the door, from his bedroom we heard our grandson say, "Are they gone yet?" to which we said, "No". This happened a couple times.
