Lunchbox LOVE notes

Last year I was given a great book to read about the importance of encouraging your kids throughout the day. I mean who doesn't love a little boost to make your heart happy. I can remember my mom writing on my napkin I would unfold it very carefully(imagine Charlie looking for the GOLDEN TICKET) and find stick figures holding flowers or a simple I love you! Those napkins made my day. I was my mom's baby a VERY spoiled youngest of 4 I might add. I'm totally okay with that. Back to my point about the book- I loved it and I wanted to make sure that William felt that same love as long as he can. A few times last year I forgot and he let me know. In the book it talks about all kinds of ways we can encourage our children from writing on the driveway to the bathroom mirror. I also love the idea of encouraging them with God's word. Just today at  breakfast we went over the bible verses our family is learning this week. I just pray that those words are hidden in his heart to fight the enemy. Also included are ideas for packing a unique lunchbox, and beyond that, a focus on building self-esteem and character to lay the groundwork for the miracle of salvation.

This year I have asked family and friends to show the love to William with their own lunchbox love notes. I have a box that I keep in the kitchen that I rotate through. Categories are: Holiday, jokes,friends,FAITH,family,sports trivia. Below are a few of my favs!!!!!
