Blessing Others

This post described one of the sweetest ideas I've ever seen for blessing a loved one far away with a "virtual" shower. What a devoted and loving sister. Check it out! It is inspiring!
And check out the reaction from the wonderful lady who was the recipient of the virtual shower! (By the way, these gals are some of my favorite singers!)





I'm looking for hospitality ideas! We're hosting some missionary friends for a few days in a little over a week and I would love to do some special things to make their visit here fun. They have 3 little kids (age 3, 2, and 1) and we have a small house so those are some factors but I'm just curious: What fun things might you do to bless a missionary family staying with you?

That was amazing, wasn't it? I am still in awe of all they did for me. It really blessed me so much!

If I think of any good ideas for activities while your friends visit, I'll let you know. All I could think of was making bubbles (dish soap and water) and some giant wands out of string and a stick. Those are super fun, but you have to have a nice day to pull it off.

You could buy concrete and make stepping stones! Then you could put them in your garden and remember to pray for them when you see them! I don't know anything about their situation - but maybe they could take some with them too!

Best gift though: watch their kids so they can go on a date!

As a family we enjoyed the outdoors-going to see some of the pretty areas around your house might be fun for them. Another thought was maybe going to see your dad's and husband's workplace-probably more interesting for the parents than the kids.

Seeing some of the pretty places outdoors might be something they enjoy. Another thought (if your dad and husband agree=))would be to see their workplace.

We've given quite a few virtual showers among my circle of friends :) It's very fun!
