What to Give Someone When They Move Away

First gather these things...
-small birds nest with tiny eggs (from craft store)
-one egg (plastic or wooden)
-a bookmark that says "bloom where you are planted"
-small mirror
-6 inch piece of white rope with a pink ribbon tied to it

What to say when you give them the gift...
1.  The first thing you must do when you move is to make your nest a home.  Weave it with love and happiness.
2.  Second, borrow an egg.  This is the easiest way to meet your neighbor and start a friendship.
3.  Third, put this bookmark in your Bible as a reminder to find a fellowship.
4.  After that, look in this mirror as a reminder that it all begins with you.
5.  And finally, hold on tight to this rope.  It is woven with God's love, His Word, and His promises.
