What are we going to do?
How are we going to make it?
When will life be normal again?

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, your child may ask these questions. Your child longs for the normality of days past, but normal may not come for a long time. How do you help your child? You create hope by making a Hope Jar. The Hope Jar serves as a constant reminder that hope exists. This will build your child’s faith and remind them that God has not forgotten them. Let’s make a Hope Jar.

1. Find a jar with a lid, such a jelly jar.

2. Have your child decorate the jar using ribbon, stickers, paint, etc. Whatever you have is fine.

3. Daily, have your child place something hopeful in the jar. It can be a scripture, a thought, or an item.

A scripture. Jeremiah 29:11.
A thought. Next year, we will have the biggest Christmas tree in our new home.
An item. A piece of sheet rock reminds us that God will help rebuild.

Hope is knowing that something can happen. And like Hebrews 11:1 says, “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

4. Weekly, ask your child to share what’s in their Hope Jar and pray together.
