These Blessing Pebbles are perfect little gifts to brighten someone's day. We all have times in our life which are a little harder than others & these pebbles are a simple way of letting people know that you care & you're thinking of them.
Before you start making your Blessing Pebbles, why not have a think about people who are having a particularly hard time, or those you wish to thank or encourage. With these people in mind you can start to create your pebbles. Begin by drawing a heart in the centre of each stone with a pencil & once you're happy with the shape you can paint it with your chosen paint marker pens. We found the Posca pens worked really well for this activity.
Once the paint is dry you can add your blessing to the reverse of the pebble. We used permanent markers for this & wrote simple short blessings, each relevant to the recipient of the pebble.
Before you give your Blessing Pebble you might like to hold it in your hand & say a prayer for the person who'll receive it. Your pebble could be given to a friend as a gift, or left anonymously for someone to discover.
If you're pondering what to write on your pebble, 1 Corinthians 13 is a great starting point.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love never fails.
Love always protects
Love always trusts
Love always hopes.
You could make a batch of these & leave them around your community for people to find. Who knows who'll discover them & what a difference your blessing may have on their day. The world needs a whole lot of love right now, so why not get creative & brighten someone's day by making & sharing these little blessings.
