Blessing Jar

A member of our group, Sharon made each of us a BLESSING JAR and gave them to us at our New Year’s get-together.  I think we all can agree that life is much better when we count our blessings rather than our disappointments.  This jar is a daily reminder to do just that.  

It has been said that gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness.  No matter what is going on, there’s always something to be grateful for.  A blessed reminder can be found in James 1:17 which says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights . . . "

Won’t it be fun to open this jar at the end of the year and see what God has done! 

To make your own BLESSING JAR you will need: 

A Jar with a lid

Ribbon

Label

Glue

Pen and Paper

The label says, "Starting January 1, write good things that happen on the little pieces of paper and put in this jar.  Surprise gifts, accomplished goals, LOL moments, memories worth saving, daily blessings.  On December 31, open the jar and read the amazing things that happened to you in 2015!"

Note:  Sharon got the idea for the blessing jar and label from Pinterest.
