This week my mum came over and the kids had out a set of jacks that I have had for ages. They're called Knuckleheads and they are very cute (quite possibly the reason I bought them in the first place!)
Look at those cute faces!
Well the kids weren't using them for what they were designed for (I think it was more for the noise they make when you throw them on the tiles!), so they were quite taken by Mum throwing them up in the air and trying to catch them on the back of her hand. Mum had to go back to her childhood to try and remember the rules for the game (It was a bit of a long trip back!! Love you Mum!!!!)
Mikayla in particular tried for ages, while Mum was in hysterics, trying to get those little plastic faces to stay on the back of her hand. It was very fun and perhaps exactly what Mum had needed at the time as she's been having a bit of a tough time at the moment.
When Mum left I got onto Ebay and bought her her very own set and had them delivered to her. They arrived this morning and I think she quite enjoyed the surprise!
Doing something for someone else or giving a gift to someone you love is fun. I've enjoyed it this week and it has reminded me of another gift that's on offer to all.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
~ John 3:16 ~
Question is, are you ready to receive it?
Until next week...
