We have been trying a new thing around here. Instead of sticker charts and other things like that (I can't seem to keep up with those) we have marble jars. We have been talking about how we want to live a life that reflects Jesus. Jesus saw people's needs and met them...if they were hungry he fed them, sick he healed them, etc. We want to be a family that sees a need and meets it (in all forms!). We have been talking about seeing needs around the house and meeting them gets you marbels. So feeding the dog, picking up toys, making your bed, etc are all forms of seeing needs and meeting them. When your jar is full you get to pick a special date, treat with Mom and Dad!

So far the kids have absolutely LOVE it! I am learning that if I only hand out 2 marbles at a time then their jar will never be filled....The boys also decided that daddy might need a jar after picking up his shoes a few different times:-)
