Survival Kits
I seen this post and thought that I would share again since Thanksgiving and Christmas are just right around the corner. :)

I am so thankful for all of the mom's, dad's, pastors, pastor's wives, teachers, and friends that are making a positive difference in my life and those of many others! Because school is starting or has already started I got to thinking of ways to say, 'Thank You.' So, here are some 'survival kits' that can be given as gifts. God bless and enjoy the week!!!

To explore what's near and venture afar,
But most important to love who they are.
