Over the years I’ve known many moms who have had new kids. A new baby is always such a sweet thing. There’s such excitement and anticipation that comes with having a new child. No matter if it’s number 1 or 8, each child is a blessing.

I like doing something special for new moms. While having babies is a joy, it can also be a little stressful making sure that everything gets ready for the baby.

Here are some things that you can do for the new mothers in your life.

1.       Make them a baby blanket.

2.       Put together a new mother basket. Put in things like bath salts, tea, lotions, candles, and other things to help her to relax.

3.       Make them a baby bonnet.  They can use it for the baby’s dedication day.

4.       Offer to go over and clean house. This can be really helpful for mothers who have little kids. Cleaning house and watching kids can be a great blessing.

5.        Make them meals after the birth. While they are recovering, the meals are taken care of. 

Ministry Month Challenge Day 2

Today I'm making a preemie baby gown. It's blue and very easy to make. I love these.

Just a Little Blanket

    One of my favorite things that I do for charity is make preemie baby blankets for a local hospital.

    It takes me about 2 days to make a baby blanket and about 1 day to make a baby gown. Yet I know that it’s such a blessing.
    The hospital takes the blankets and they lay the babies on top or them when they put them in under the lamps. They can’t use normal blankets because it would irritate the baby’s skin.
    It’s not much, but it does help. I like making little blankets and gowns. It’s good to know that I’m making the day of a preemie baby and their parents, a little brighter.

A Song

I love this song. It's so comforting.

A visitor from Heaven
If only for a while
A gift of love to be returned
We think of you and smile

A visitor from Heaven
Accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love
And of a better place

With aching hearts and empty arms
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we’re so glad you came
We’re so glad you came

A visitor from Heaven
If only for a day
We thank Him for the time He gave
And now it’s time to say
We trust you to the Father’s love
And to His tender care
Held in the everlasting arms
And we’re so glad you’re there
We’re so glad you’re there

With breaking hearts and open hands
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we’re so glad you came
We’re so glad you came
