A Family Vacation Package Is A Unique Pastor Appreciation Gift Idea

A Family Vacation - A Memorable Gift of Appreciation

Our vacations, often a last minute travel idea, have been some of the most memorable pastor appreciation gift ideas our churches have come up with.

Giving funds for a vacation is actually a gift of relationship for busy families. Families are so scattered and so a gift of travel to a special vacation destination will often recreate togetherness for busy, fragmented families in a way other gifts cannot achieve.

Family Vacations Usually Involve Last Minute Travel

I suppose some people actually plan their vacations in advance. I have heard there are organized travelers like that.

But but when it comes to planning family vacations, I've notice most families are like mine -- having lifestyles that are far too busy. Yet we are the ones who need a vacation to re-establish relationship.

In most of our churches there was always at least one person who would slip us cash as a last minute travel gift.

On one family trip -- from Bellingham, Washington to Carlsbad, New Mexico -- one of the key laymen in the church slipped us a couple hundred dollars "In case you get tired of camping in a tent."

Now the purpose of the trip was to attend a family reunion but that extra money made it more of a family vacation as we explored the Grand Canyon on our way through Arizona.

A family vacation is a great pastor appreciation gift idea that can be made special by a last minute travel gift of cash for the journey.

Vacations Involve The Entire Family

A vacation including the family is a great gift of appreciation. Travel gifts such as family cruises or travel tours are the type of gift that says "thanks" to the whole family.

Family vacations not only honor your pastor, they say to the pastor's family, "we appreciate you too."

Even if it comes under the category of last minute travel, giving a family vacation package is a unique pastor appreciation gift idea for several reasons.

A family excursion for the pastor's family is more than going to a destination for a set amount of time. A family vacation gift focuses upon several needs of the pastor and the pastor's family.

One of the best aspects of a family trip as a pastor appreciation gift is that it gives the gift of time and togetherness to the pastor's family.

Over the years our congregations have given the gift of travel when they knew we would never take a vacation on our own, due to family financial concerns.
