What a wonderful way to remember the small moments of life! Make a perpetual daily calendar that can be reused each year and gets better the longer you use it.
Each day you write the year and a line or two about something that happened that day like,
Elizabeth took her first steps today!- or -
Johnny broke his arm today falling off his bike- or -
Ted got promoted today - now he is assistant manager- or -
Moving into our new home!
Imagine what an amazing record this would be in 10 years!?
Or call it a blessing box where you write down each day's blessings. A gratitude box, to remind you of what you are grateful for. A scripture box, to add one scripture a day that speaks to you.
These would make great gifts this season, not only for adults but also for older kids, baby showers, retirement parties, wedding showers and more.
PLUS - if giving this as a gift, you could write something on some of the days yourself, for them to discover!
