Another idea for Lent - The "Joy Jar"

A kind parishioner sent me this suggestion, which is well worth sharing:

Make a joy jar for yourself by taking an empty glass jar, decorating it, and keeping it in a place where you spend a lot of time. When something good or unexpected happens, write it on a scrap of paper and drop it in the jar. When you're having a bad day, tip out your jar and read your slips of paper. You will literally be able to count your blessings!
Don't forget to thank God for them.
