On Confirmation Sunday I told several stories to the Confirmation Students to help them to prepare for the challenges of life. So many folks asked me for a copy of this I decided to share it with everyone.

Items Needed:

A Toothpick
A Rubber Band
A Band-Aid
A Pencil
An Eraser
Some Chewing Gum
A Mint
A Candy Kiss
A Tea Bag

1) A Toothpick -- to remind you to pick out the good qualities in others -- Matt. 7:1

2) A Rubber Band -- to remind you to be flexible, things might not always go the way you want, but it will work out -- Romans 8:28

3) A Band Aid -- to remind you to heal hurt feelings, yours or someone else's -- Col. 3:12-14

4) A Pencil -- to remind you to list your blessings everyday -- Eph.1 :3

5) An Eraser --To remind you that everyone makes mistakes, and it's ok -- Gen. 50:15-21

6) Some Chewing gum -- to remind you to stick with it and you can accomplish anything with Jesus
-- Phil. 4:13

7) A Mint -- to remind you that you are worth a mint to your heavenly father -- John 3:16-17

8) A Candy Kiss -- to remind you that everyone needs a kiss or a hug every day -- 1 John 4:7

9) A Tea Bag -- to remind you to relax daily and go over that list of God's blessings -- 1 Thess. 5:18
