Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is only 12 days away, and I have started shopping for my sweet mom and precious mother in law. The typical gifts are flowers, cards, candy, etc. But I want to give them something meaningful and special.

I thought I would share with you this really cool idea...

World Vision has many ways you can honor your mother this Mother's Day as well as impact the lives of women all over the world.

You can help new moms in countries around the world by giving them the supplies they need to care for their newborns during the first critical weeks of life. The kit includes a bassinet, diapers, a blanket, a container for clean water, and soap. Your gift will also provide infant care training for mothers-to-be.

Or you can donate to the Orphans and Widows fund. Reach out to orphans and other children whose lives have been devastated by the AIDS epidemic — along with the elderly grandmothers who often bear the burden of care. Your gift will help meet urgent needs such as food, shelter, education, counseling, care for the sick, and job training. This is a wonderful way to give tangible hope to hurting people.

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." James 1:27
