You are Worthy

Time capsule

Today is leap year.  Do you remember what happened four years ago on the previous leap day?  What was your situation four years ago?  Where were you?  Some people like me barely remember what we did last week much less four years ago.  We are human and we forget.  Thank God he knows and remembers.  Have you thank Him, especially if you were in a terrible situation or broken?  Is your faith stronger?  When we go through life challenges, our faith becomes stronger even if we don’t understand or see the “big” picture. 

Project:  Create a time capsule of God's goodness

Time:  1 hour

Location:  home

Supplies:  current photographs, notepad/paper, pen, small box or canister (large enough for photos), construction paper, scissors, tape

Create a time capsule of what is going on in your life right now.  Decorate your box/canister with the year 2016 (next leap year).  Write down your current situation (your job, your children, what you look like, etc.).  On another page, write down your prayers (people who have asked you to pray for them) and requests (where you see yourself in four years, what you need, etc.)  Place all items into your canister and tape it.  Place the box/canister at the top of your closet.  Put a note in your calendar, suggest cell phone when you will open it.  Your family is welcomed to contribute.  On February 29, 2016, open the canister and review what you wrote. 

What are you doing now?  What prayers did God answer?  What prayers did God not answer or answered in another way?  What decisions did you make that prevented God from answering or working?  Say a blessing for your life and living another four years.

Blessings from God,
