A Peanut Butter Jar?

So these jars went home in our school bags.  They are "Prayer Jars," however, it is my understanding that almost every child could not get over the fact that they were, in fact, peanut butter jars!!! The poem explains that the jar is a way to remind us to pray for our friends at school, but I probably should have skipped all of that and spent the week just letting the children absorb the fact that these are real peanut butter jars!!! And that we ate the peanut butter over several months and that I cleaned the jars up with dish detergent.  THEN spent time explaining the "prayer" part of it.  Who knew that a plastic peanut butter jar could be so amazing!!!!  We will continue to use our class prayer jar and talk about how we use it at home, but JIF should be really happy that all 12 of the children in this class knew straight up that this was the logo for their peanut butter... so I think in the future I might have to call this the "Our Peanut Butter Prayer Sticks."  Either way, we know God listens no matter how it gets to Him!
