At our church this weekend they were giving away God boxes. The boxes were given to families with young children, so we did not bring one home with us, but I liked the idea and thought I would share it today, here is how it works. When you have a prayer request or gratitude, you place it in the box. You also can place special items that you treasure or collect as memories. This box is a great way to teach your children to bring their lives to God. I really like the concept. When they first talked about it over the weekend, I thought it was a cute idea and then this morning I had a light bulb moment when I thought "DUH, they are teaching the kids to bring things to God!" The idea immediately went from cute to amazing.
Now I have decided that I would like a God box too. So many times in my every day coming and going I forget that I have a soft place to fall and carry the weight of my troubles myself. Perhaps having a physical place to carry the weight to would help me release it sooner rather than later. I tend to forget that my life is already in His hands and that sharing with Him my troubles helps Him to mold and shape me into the person I am meant to be. So, maybe I need to find myself a God box. Nothing fancy, just someplace that will help me remember "Your world is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" Psalm 119:105
