Just a few weeks ago our ward made a few changes. The girls got a new young women leader. They dearly loved the old ones, but they are also excited about their new leader as well. Change is cool that way, we are blessed with so good women in our area that are qualified to serve.
Anyway, feeling a need to show appreciation, our Laurel class president came to me a few days later with a list of things she needed to carry out her plan. As luck would have it, I was actually going to town the next day and was able to purchase the necessary supplies.
She made a half a dozen roses for each of her leaders. They are super simple to make. They are made with two chocolate kisses, clear cellophane, wire, floral tape and a rose leaf.
To make them you simply wrap two kisses with their bases together in a small square of cellophane, attach a wire and wrap up the ends in floral tape. Add a silk rose leaf and your first rosebud is done!
Gratitude is the spice of life... it is what draws happiness to us even amidst difficult times. I love the example my children are to me as they do thoughtful little things to show their thanks and appreciation for others. I am so wonderfully blessed to have such good children who are not only joyful, but quick to share their JOY with all those around them.
