Faith Treasure Box
My nephew was baptized a few weeks ago, and I had the honor and privilege of being his Godmother. Â For us, that means I support his parents in bringing him up, pray for him daily, and encourage him in his faith walk with God. I really wanted to make him something special that he could have forever. Â I came up with the idea of the Faith Treasure Box. Â This is a box for collecting anything that reminds him of his faith as he grows up. Â Some examples:
*His first Bible
*Baptism certificate, candle, handkerchief, etc.
*Baptism outfit
*First Sunday school papers, awards, or special notes from his Sunday school teachers
*Confirmation memories, etc.
I simply bought a photo storage box at JoAnn’s, along with a wood letter “B”. Â I painted the “B” {the first letter of his name}, and hot glued it to the box. Â I attached a tag with Faith Memory Ideas, so my sister and her husband have an idea of what to put in the box. Â Done! Â I hope it gets filled with precious memories that he can look back on and find encouragement as he grows up.
Carrie, I LOVE this idea. I have a box for my Cason right now but it has all kinds of stuff in it. I love the idea of a “faith” box. So doing this for him. Maybe even put words of encouragement for him from each birthday. đŸ™‚ Thanks for an awesome idea!
