A Shelf of Remembrance

These are snapshots of my “shelf of remembrance.”  What are these little objects adorning my shelf?  They are small remembrance gifts which were given out at various women’s retreats and events over the years.  Each one is a special reminder of the theme for the specific event or retreat.  They are simple and very inexpensive, but precious reminders none the less of those special times with the Lord.  Most of the time, the theme of the retreat and even the theme verse are noted somewhere on the remembrance.  Other remembrances not sitting on my shelf have included magnets and bookmarks, and they can be found elsewhere in my house!

Women love being pampered at retreats, and taking away a little remembrance is just one of the ways that we try to make the retreats special for them.  Sometimes the gifts are something small that we have purchased; more often, it is something that requires some crafting and/or assembly.  Our hope is that our little gift will be something that will bring back special memories of the retreat.
