Salvation Bracelets

Many of you I'm sure have heard of salvation bracelets. My Grandma Jan suggested that I make some to use as my tool to teach the kids about God. I thought it was a perfect idea that the kids would love. Over Christmas we quickly got busy. Aunt Sarah and Grandma brought all their beads and we ended up with 73! I'm not sure what my goal is, but over the weekend Emily and I made 75 more, so I am up to 148! I know I want to have entirely to many instead of not enough. I want them to have something to remind them of how much God loves and will always be there for them. If you are not familiar with the bracelets here is what the beads represent:
Black: Sin
Red: Jesus' Blood
Blue: Baptism
White: Forgiveness and Cleansing
Green: Growth in the Lord
Yellow: Heaven
Dad is going to make me a little card that we can tie to each bracelet that tells what the colors represent as well as a scripture in the Bible that we can look up when talking about each bead.
