Welcome to Blessings in a Mason Jar: 20 Devotionals for Savoring Lifes Everyday Blessings.
. As you journey through these pages, I hope you’ll find comfort, warmth, and a deep sense of connection to God’s everyday blessings. This book is about capturing the sweetness of life’s simple moments, preserving them like treasures in a Mason jar, and savoring the goodness that God pours into our lives each and every day.

You might be wondering why a humble canning jar became the theme of this book. Well, there’s something special about those simple glass jars. In many homes, especially in the South, a Mason jar is more than just a container; it’s a symbol of love, tradition, and the care that goes into preserving the best of what life offers. Whether holding the last of summer’s peaches, homemade pickles, or a batch of fresh preserves, each jar represents time well spent and the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve stored up something good to enjoy when you need it most.

Like the seasons, life is full of moments worth savoring—both the big celebrations and the small, quiet joys. But sometimes, in the busyness of our days, we forget to pause and appreciate those blessings. That’s where the Mason jar comes in. Just as we preserve the fruits of our labor, this book invites you to preserve the spiritual treasures God places in your life. Each chapter is a reminder to stop, reflect, and tuck away those moments of grace, hope, love, and joy.

And here’s a little something extra: as you read through this book, I encourage you to grab a Mason jar of your own. Use it as a physical reminder of the blessings you encounter along the way. Each time you come across something that touches your heart—a thought, a prayer, a moment of clarity—write it down and place it in your jar. Over time, you’ll build a collection of blessings that you can turn to on those days when you need a bit of extra encouragement, a reminder of God’s faithfulness.

Just like a well-stocked pantry filled with preserves, this collection of devotionals is here for you whenever you need it—whether you’re facing a tough day, looking for a bit of encouragement, or simply wanting to feel closer to God. I hope that as you read, you’ll find your blessings to tuck away, stored safely in your heart like jars on a shelf, ready to nourish your soul whenever you need a taste of His love.

So, grab a jar, find a cozy spot, and start preserving life’s blessings together. Because, truly, life is too short not to savor every sweet, God-given moment.
