Prayer Pail

This is our prayer pail! I found this fantastic idea on - say it with me - Pinterest, and I absolutely love how practical it is. I bought my pail in the Target dollar section, bought jumbo craft sticks at Joanne, and wrote names of family members and close friends. I also included "neighbor," "school teacher," "church teacher," "pastor," and "you choose" sticks. Each night at bedtime, each child pulls out a stick and simply pray for that person. Tonight, they wanted to pick several times. I think this is perfect for getting them comfortable praying to Jesus and thanking him for the people that surround us.
