Blessing Jar: A Family Activity

Many of us now have more time with our families and are looking for activities to keep our kids busy. One activity we recommend is creating a blessing jar. Not only is it a fun daily activity for families, but is also a good way to teach children to look for blessings and things to be thankful for, despite the circumstances. A blessing jar can be a daily reminder of what we do have. 

How To Make A Blessing Jar

1. Find a jar or container.
2. Cut up paper into small strips.
3. Pick a set time each day (perhaps at a meal) for each family member to write down one blessing from the day on a small piece of paper.
4. If they'd like, each person may share what they wrote with others.
5. Write the date on the paper.
6. Place the paper in the jar.
7. Continue doing this each day.
8. When you need a reminder of your blessings, reach in the jar and read a few of the notes.
