Christmas Card Prayer Basket

My sister and law, Sarah, mentioned this idea to me on New Years Eve and I thought it was so clever. Christmas cards are always an exciting part of the holidays. I love getting them in the mail and getting to see how children and families have grown and changed since the previous year. We tape all our cards on some doors in our kitchen and its always so hard for me to take them down. I know how much everyone spends on them and I just love seeing all the photos. Its such a reminder of the blessing of family and friends, new and old, that we have in our lives.
Sarah had either heard from a friend or read on a blog of a family that puts all of their cards in a bowl or basket in their kitchen. They let the kids pick one card each night at dinner and they mention that family in their prayers. I think this is a great way to teach our children how to pray for the people we love and care about! And simple.
So, our cards have now moved from our doors to a basket on our breakfast table. If you sent a Christmas card this year....know that the Jones Family is praying for you in 2011.

Thanks Sarah for the wonderful idea!
