No idea why this picture is posting side ways. But anyway, here is the box I just got mailed off to Nathan. Since he is on his mission, I thought he needed to focus on his love of the Savior. I found some great ideas on the web and like the one found
HERE. I found the
Greater than Us All CD at Deseret book. I then picked up a picture of the Savior at the temple and printed off a page that said 'I never said it would be easy. I said only that it would be worth it." I put these in a double frame. You could also use a pass along card with the picture of the Savior and frame that. Your ward library should have these or they should be able to order the picture of the Savior if you need. They are inexpensive. I picked up a little easel so Nathan can set the frame up on a table.
OK, OK, OK. I didn't make candy. BUT, Dove candy came in tin hearts rather than the cardboard heart shaped boxes. I added that because I thought the tin box might be nice to keep letters from home or other keep sakes in. I bought some heart die cuts from the teacher store and put scripture references to Love on both sides. I didn't write them out as my daughter suggested, because I thought it would be a fun thing for his scripture study time to look them up.
I bought some pink and red old fashioned candy sticks and put them all in a box lined with red tissue papers.
