The Ugly Jar

My church is the best. Like, no joke. Currently we are in the midst of working on a fast from complaining/whining/pretty much anything negative. Because as Pastor Steven reminded us that negativity is the ultimate kill-oy in our joy genomes. And I am LOVING it! Its challenging, and really eye-opening in reference to how much we all actually complain. Also, the way we're doing it is super creative- each time you complain you have to put a dollar into "The Ugly Jar". Made by the kids department at Elevation, this brown jar is sitting in the Hilton kitchen as a reminder. But in my opinion, the best part about it is that the money that is added to the Ugly Jar over this week long fast is going to a charity in downtown Charlotte. We're taking our bad mess and turning it into good- so take that Satan!!! But everyone in the family is working on this. Its been challenging, but kinda fun too. You should make your own ugly jar....it'll really surprise you how much you use it. :)
