so far I have been to church where I invited some younger members of the church to go on a hike this afternoon fixing to go hiking with 5 or 6 teens my twelve year old and a 23 yr old couple...the gift EXERCISE...Between Bible Study and Church I collected maple seeds you know they look like comma's and when thrown in the air they twirl like a helicopter I collected a very large had full and threw them up in the air for the kids when they came out on the porch to visit between services the gift GIGGLES.  In church my boys 12 and 15 argue about who is sitting by me this week my husband doesn't go so I haven't figured why they don't just sit one on each side...maybe its because they like the individual attention I lay my arm behind them on the pew and sometimes scratch their back or they hold my hand to see who's is bigger mine or theirs atm the 12yr old is close and the 15yr old dead even. the gift....LOVE. Then we had lunch after church and I went thru line with a old lady who was visiting and helped her get the good stuff.. the gift...Good Food. There is this girl at church 16 who has been feeling left out like she doesn't fit today she layed her Iphone on the counter in the kitchen so I quickly picked it up without her noticing and said Hi Sarah good to see you...she looked puzzled and said to her mom I told her that already..lol she didn't notice she didn't have her phone and headed to the car I followed and waved the phone in the air saying hey Sarah aren't you going hiking with us.  She laughed and said I didn't bring a change of clothes I told her we would wait for her to go home and change...the gift... PATIENCE.I hugged my kids the gift ASSURANCE. more to come
