Jar of Life

   
Here is an idea I got from a mother who has an angel. This could be used in any home. It helps us to remember that life does have tears & because we have been through the hard things, it helps us be grateful for the wonderful things in life. All the beautiful memories.

 "I've also started a memory jar for 2013 but mine is a little different than some people's. My jar of memories is also a jar of tears, so for each memory I'll put a little slip of paper with the memory and date written on it. For each sorrowful event i'll put a stone into the jar the represents a tear drop. Without our sorrows we wouldn't appreciate our good memories as much."
