Christmas is coming and sometimes it’s hard to figure out what to give parents and/or grown children that they will really like.  Last year I gathered together a bunch of family recipes.  I made sure each of the girls had given me one of their favorites.  For Christmas, I compiled them into little books.  I think that was one of their all time favorite gifts.

This year I am thinking about taking a picture of the house they grew up in and using it as the focal point for a poster.  I might make a collage of family pictures or use the recipe theme or even something like family pets.  Find a scripture that speaks to family and loving each other and I’ll have an inspirational poster that I hope they will keep forever.

We tend to think the family landmarks will be there forever but everything changes.  Before you know it, our children are trying to show their children what it was like where they grew up.  As grandparents, we are honorary “keepers of the memories”. What a precious way to pass them on.

If this sounds hard, it’s easier than you might think. Internet sites like Zazzle.com
have people who would be glad to help you with your project or you can even do it yourself!
