  Life, we rarely stop and smell the roses! We are normally so busy that we don’t sit back and relax and look around at all the blessings that we have. I may complain about aches and pains or having a bad day but each night I go to bed and when I pray I thank God for giving me another day.

What you need is the small mason jars, brown feathers (you can find those at Hobby Lobby, Michaels or other craft stores) and bronze spray paint. Spray the mason jars with the spray paint and let dry, fill them with feathers and you're all done.
