If you have been following along with our James Bible Study: Following God’s Road Signs, this art project is the FIRST of many to come!
We have been studying James 1:1-12 learning about being servants of God, counting it JOY when going through tough times (not PARKING in self pity), being wise and asking GOD for directions, and not getting stuck in our handicapped way of thinking.
The JOY JAR was created so that you would have a place to write down your trials and put them into the jar. A week from now, two weeks, a month…take out a piece of paper and SEE how GOD has used your trial to make your faith BETTER and STRONGER. And, don’t forget to tell ME about it!
Follow these directions for the Joy Jar… Download the instructions. Joy Jar Scripture.
Fabulous idea! I may use this with my 3rd and 4th grade class at church!
Blessings,
Mel
