Mornings are a blur. Lunches, shoes, screens, someone crying over socks. You want Jesus to be part of your home — but family devotions keep getting pushed to “tomorrow.”
And when your kids have big feelings, they don't always have the words for them.
That's where a small jar of Bible verses on the kitchen table comes in. Here's why it works when everything else gets skipped.
1One minute is all it takes
No books, no plan, no prep. Someone pulls a strip, reads it out loud, and you're done before the toast pops.
Because it's so small, it actually sticks — and small habits are the ones kids carry into adulthood.
“And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house… and when thou risest up.”
Not in a classroom. At the table, in the morning, in the middle of ordinary life.
2It gives kids words for big feelings
The label says “Read me when…” — happy, thankful, angry, anxious, lonely or sad. Each feeling has its own color.
So instead of “I don't know,” your child can say “I need a green one today.” That one sentence opens a conversation you might never have had.
3No forced devotions, no eye-rolls
Kids roll their eyes at lectures. But they love choosing their own color from a jar that's theirs.
God's Word stays at the center — they just get to reach for it themselves.
4It turns the table into a place to talk
“Why did you pick angry today?” “What do you think Jesus meant by that?” A single strip can start the kind of conversation screens never will.
5A verse they can carry to school
Tuck a strip in a lunchbox or backpack before a test, a game or a hard day. A small reminder that Jesus — and you — are with them.
“Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid… for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” (Joshua 1:9)
6One each means no fighting over it
Ask any mom: one jar for three kids is a negotiation. With 3 jars for $64.95 ($21.65 each) everyone has their own on the nightstand — and with 5 for $99.95 there's one for a teacher and a cousin too.
We email you free printable name tags after your order, so each jar has a name on it.
What if they're not into it? Then you get your money back. Every order has a 30-day love-it guarantee — usually without sending anything back. The only thing you risk is one minute at breakfast.
