Jerkins' Family Favorites, Part 3

One of my dear friends, Margaret Wesley, shared this fantastic recipe for GELATIN FRUIT SALAD with my family. Margaret made something special for every church potluck, and she made you feel special when you talked to her. Talking to your children is the same. When parents make the time to be completely present with their children and give them undivided attention, it helps them develop the self-esteem and confidence they need to succeed.
