I just spent 2 days at a Parish Nurse Conference and Retreat for Parish Nurses from Oregon and Washington. The theme was Spirituality and Health.
Not only was I a participant, I also was a presenter for 2 sessions on Friday. Plus I was the gift "giver."
Many generous folks provided gifts, which were given away by drawing ticket numbers. Asking people to give things is not my favorite thing to do, but Parish Nurses, who are mostly volunteers, certainly need to be recognized and pampered a bit. Tote bags, books, an original painting, 2 silk flower arrangements, a huge original photo, a beauty basket, a handmade vase, a heart & hands figurine were just some of the gifts ranging from $10-100+. I was honored to pass them out to some very happy people.
I hope that my presentation was also a gift of encouragement.
Giving is fun!
Shalom, Connie
