- - Would you give Mom Flip-Flops for Mother's Day? (https://www.apostolicfriendsforum.com/showthread.php?t=3575)

Okay.......... maybe I'm blind, but I don't see where it says that they are giving the mothers flip flops. I just see one ladies' flip flop used as a graphic for mother's day...... Does the the ad actually state they are giving flip flops and I missed it?????? I does say "memorable gift" - but I don't see it state what the memorable gift will be. Are we jumping to conclusions here? :icecream Let me know if I missed where it actually states that. :heeheehee

I'm not sure either Sweet Pea. But I know year after year it gets hard to think up something original...I may remember flip-flops for next year! Of course it would be difficult to know what sizes to get everyone...

I bought my mom roses to plant in her flower garden.. and a nice Mother's day card with a gift card enclosed.

My mother doesn't wear flip flops, so I definitely wouldn't have purchased them for her. :D

I can't imagine our church handing out flip flops to mom's either...

uh.. right next to the "sandal" you read in size one thousand font "A memorable gift..."

This ad was in the paper this week also.

Last week it was hot- almost 80. Tomorrow is expected to be like today 50-55 and heavy winds. Cold, damp and very miserable. Maybe, Mom is supposed to think of the beach with these?!?

It's the thought that counts. Over the years I have received paper clip necklaces, paper hats, cards, to wild flower picked by my kids, to a mold print of my son hand he made in Kindergarten each of these gift were a treasure due to the thought and proud smile on their face as I wore these items. Yes I been given diamonds, pearls before, but nothing has come close to the little things my kids made with their own two hands~ So if they , my 17-20 years olds bought me flip flop I be very happy~ Because that what mothers do, because a mother realizes it not about the gifts but the thought and action of love that went into it~

addendum to thread question :

...... and live to tell about it?

There is a large charismtatic church in our town that gives first time visitors a nice jar of jam / jelly with a custom label that says " Especially Made for World Outreach Church" and in big letter's "We're glad you came". It also has the church name, address and a sloagan "Recognizing God's Faithfulness In A Changing World".
