Sweet Little Nothings Do Count for
Something
by Kori Puckett
After the first, brilliant anniversary gift idea has been used up, impressing
your significant other tends to get a bit more difficult. At least it does in
your mind. You think you have to come up with some expensive, elaborate gift
for the next time.
Well, no. Sometimes it's the little (inexpensive, even free) things we do that
are the most appreciated and leave a lasting impression. For example, you
could:
* Write love notes on the mirror, so it'll be one of the first things they see
in the morning when they wake up.
* Take a spin around the room to their favorite CD or song.
* Leave little love notes and poems here and there--at the workplace, in the
mailbox, on the dashboard, etc.
* Make them breakfast in bed. A flower or other small gift may add a nice
touch.
* Cook dinner for the night, especially if you're not the one who usually does
the cooking. Or you could order in a
special meal.
*Have a picnic in your yard or in the park if you can, especially on a starry
night. This would also be the perfect opportunity to add a little extra and
present your sweetie with their own star as a first anniversary gift idea (or
any other occasion).
Or you could decorate a room in your house with glow-in-the-dark stars on the
ceiling to recreate the night outdoors.
* Give them some love coupons so they can request sweet little nothing favors
from you whenever they want. Love coupons in themselves are wonderful wedding
anniversary gift ideas and you can buy them or make them yourself.
You can probably come up with more ideas. But always remember: Price doesn't
matter. Size doesn't matter. Color doesn't matter, unless they have an intense
hatred for a particular shade of blue or something ;) The best first wedding
anniversary gift idea (or any romantic gift idea) is one that comes from the
heart and one that your significant other will truly love.

Serenity
Prayer
God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change...
Courage to change the things I can,
And Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
