I had a very difficult time trying to decide just how to pass along this daisy. It's a very sweet gesture I realise, but I felt quite strange doing something nice for someone, and then telling them that I had done something nice for them by giving them this daisy. I also felt some pressure to choose a "really nice thing", not just an everyday occurrance that all of us women do for each other everyday. I ended up choosing a woman who I was teaching, spending extra time with her after class (she was quite upset about her abilities and needed my reassurances). So JW passed along this daisy to KL.
I decided to do something for a woman who is a volunteer at my kid's school. She is a great mom and a great supporter of the volunteer programs. I wanted to show my appreciation for her seemingly tireless efforts and I wrote her a thank you card. She was going in each morning to do some work at the school and I knew that she often didn't eat breakfast until later in the day. So I made her a homemade egg McMuffin and a coffee in a go cup and brought it to the school one morning with the card. It turned out she was going out with another mom that day, so I had to change plans. I took her out a few days later to Cora's for a nice brunch instead. DV passed this daisy on to JW - Aurora.
and thank you for passing on the love of Christ to other sisters in need.
Daisy pins were given out to a group of women in May 2007 at Valley View Alliance Church in Newmarket, Ontario. These women were encouraged to show the love of Christ to someone in need and then to pass on their Daisy, asking the recipient to do the same.
This blog site was set up so that we can follow the journey of our Daisies as they travel, spreading the blessing of living a life in service to one another.
