Treasures of the Heart

This is a wonderful theme for a ladies’ meeting in the month of February.

Decorations:

___Use red, of course and anything heart shaped. Have a tiny heart shaped votive candle at each place setting. These can be found in the dollar store. Heart shaped balloons also make nice centerpieces. To add to the fun ask the ladies to bring a food item that is red. You can special order red bread from the bakery for a small fee.

Favors:

___A small box of conversation hearts makes a nice favor. It is easy to find small heart shaped favors around Valentine’s Day.

Game:

___See who can name the most hearts that are listed in the Bible. You may be amazed to discover that there are around 100 different hearts mentioned.

Guessing Game: Fill a pretty jar with either red hots or conversation hearts candy and count them. Pass the jar around the room and have each person guess the amount of candy in the jar. The one who guesses closest to the right amount gets to keep the jar of candy.

Speakers:

___Prior to your meeting ask several ladies to bring an item that she considers a treasure. Let each one speak for a few minutes on why the item is a treasure to her. We have found this to be a very sentimental and interesting time as we listen to these heartfelt comments. Often these treasures are things that are meaningless to others, but they take on the definition of a treasure because of the giver or the story attached.
