1) It's
FROG-uary . . .
Time to Fully Rely on God!
This is another awesome idea from my sweet friend, Kath
Doerr. As my husband, Bob, continues healing from his brain injury, she sends
us daily reminders of God's love and care! For the month of Frog-uary (ribbet, "February"), she sent us a box of 29
"frogs," (it's leap year). She created the frogs using empty Keurig cups,
and then cut green construction paper to shape the heads, feet, and hands.
Each frog is numbered, so as to be opened each day. Kath also wrote a note on
each top such as, "Hoppin' by to say hi," "Take a leap of faith," and for the 14th, "Hoppy Valentines Day."
Inside each frog is another encouraging or humorous note, along with two Peppermint Patties
(i.e. lily pads!) What a treat! Yes, she's awesome!
What are some other ways this froggy idea could be used?
