Survival Kit for Life.

Many years ago, in my previous church in Northern Ireland, we made up these little survival kits for people in the congregation. I found it recently when I was sorting out some paperwork.

PAPER CLIP            to help to hold it together in difficult times.

PLASTER                 to help with life’s hurt feelings.

CANDLE                   to light your way when things seem at their darkest.

BUTTON                   to remind us of the times when “one should button their lip”.

RIBBON                    for all the times when you are expected to make ends meet.

PENNY                      so that you will never be completely broke.

ELASTIC BAND      to remind you to be flexible (things might not always go the way you want).

HEART                      so that you can hold on to those you love.

Perhaps you could use it to hold when you pray.
