Book Cover & Preview Text
“I loved that class!!! We talked about Jesus and how much He loves all the children of the world. We had a fun time. I always ended Sunday School in prayer and told the kids “I love you and Jesus loves you more.” They would smile, hug me, throw me a kiss, or show me a thumbs up, EXCEPT JENNY!” She was different, but that was okay. Jenny would be
the first one in class and sat in the back, all by herself. She looked sad, never smiled or talked with the other kids. It broke my heart.”
“I would have been her friend,” whispered Joey, with sniffles and tears coming down his sweet face.
“And a good friend too!” added Aunt Nellie.

About the Book
| How did you treat people today? How did you talk to them? Did you say“I love you”to your brother or sister? Did you draw a beautiful picture and give it to your neighbor to make them feel special? Did you tell anyone“Jesus loves you?” Both young and old can learn from THE PICKLE JAR message. Our actions and kindness to people can be shown in various ways. It is today’s memories that become our treasures forever! Such as discovering an old shoebox filled with pictures of family and friends, or a dollar scotch taped inside a birthday card from Grandma and Grandpa from years ago. Everyone’s treasures are different and important. John 3:16 (NKJV) says,“For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” The biggest treasures are telling others that Jesus loves them. We may be the ONLY person that shares about His love! I pray this simple story will encourage you to create special treasures for others and be blessed with your own pickle jar! Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) says,“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” |
