Every grandparent of faith knows the ache. The grandkids are growing up fast — and not always with the faith you grew up with. Some rarely see the inside of a church. Some have never opened a Bible on their own.
You've prayed about it. But you can't preach at them. Push too hard and you create distance. Say nothing, and the years slip by.
There is a gentler way. It fits in the palm of a small hand, and it does the talking for you. It's called the Psalm Jar — and here are seven reasons it belongs with every one of your grandchildren.
1It shares Jesus without a single sermon
Kids tune out lectures. They don't tune out a little jar full of colorful papers that are theirs.
Every morning they reach in, unfold a strip and read one short verse. No pressure, no performance — just God's Word, in their own hands, on their own terms.
“Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”
He never asked children to sit through a sermon first. He simply made room for them to come.
2There's a verse for exactly what they're feeling
The label says “Read me when…” — happy, thankful, angry, anxious, lonely or sad. Each feeling has its own color.
So when your grandson is nervous before a test, he reaches for green and finds words like “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” When your granddaughter feels left out, light blue reminds her: “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
That's 67 verses, sorted so the right one is always one reach away.
3It speaks for you when you can't be there
You can't sit with them every night. You may live hours away. But a jar on their nightstand is a quiet reminder of you — and of a love that's bigger than both of you.
Tell them: “Whenever you open it, know that Grandma is praying for you.” From then on, every verse carries that promise.
4It starts conversations you could never force
Ask a child “Do you want to talk about the Bible?” and you'll get a shrug. But “Which color did you pick today?” — that's a conversation.
Picture them reading a verse out loud at breakfast, texting you a photo of the strip they pulled, or tucking one into a friend's lunchbox. Faith becomes something they share, not something they're told.
5It's the one gift they won't forget by New Year's
Think about the toys, gift cards and gadgets you've given over the years. How many are still being used today?
A Psalm Jar isn't opened once and put away. It's opened again and again — 67 verses, and then all over again. Long after the wrapping paper is gone, your gift is still speaking.
6One for each of them — without playing favorites
No grandparent wants to pick favorites, and you don't have to. 3 jars are $64.95 ($21.65 each) and 5 jars are $99.95 — just $19.99 a jar, less than a toy that's forgotten in a week.
After your order we email you free printable name tags, so each grandchild gets a jar with their own name on it — from you.
7You get to plant the seed while you still can
Money runs out. Things break. But a love for God's Word is something you can hand down — and it's never too early, or too late, to start.
Paul once wrote to a young man named Timothy about where his faith began:
“…the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice.”
It started with a grandmother. It usually does.
And if they don't love it? Then it costs you nothing. Every Psalm Jar comes with a 30-day love-it guarantee — email us and we refund you, usually without even sending it back.
