Christian Survival Kit
I picked up one of these at my parish’s Christmas fair last year. The “kit” was a plastic baggie with a number of items and an inspirational message. They were so sweet, I bought one for my mother, sister and best friend’s Christmas stockings.
I have since moved to a new parish, and I think I might make up a bunch of these for their Christmas Fair, and try to work in a quote or two on tolerance and diversity.
