“These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.”
JOHN 20:31, NLV
When you go into your child’s room, say, “Good morning! I see some (color) hair. I see some (color) eyes. I see a cute nose. I see a beautiful smile. I see a ticklish tummy (give a little tickle). I see someone Jesus loves, and He wants to be [his/her] friend forever. Who could it be? (Smile.) Yes! Jesus loves YOU and wants to be YOUR friend forever!”
Give your child a clipboard, paper, and washable crayons as you get in the car. Tell them to draw something God made while you drive. When you get where you are going, ask your child to show you their drawing and tell you about it. When you get home, put it on the fridge as a reminder that God made the whole world and everything in it.
Cuddle with your child this month and pray, “Dear God, I ask that You help [child’s name] value truth. I ask that you help [him/her] believe that Jesus is always telling the truth, and that means we can always trust what He says. Thank You for sending Jesus to be our friend forever. You are the best, God, and we love You very much. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
Add plastic building blocks to bath time this month. Encourage your child to build whatever they like. Say, “Jesus went away to build a special place so everyone who believes in Him can live with Him forever. This special place is called Heaven.”
LUKE 22:54-62; JOHN 21:15-19; EPHESIANS 2:8-9
Jesus still loves Peter, even though Peter denies even knowing Jesus when he is asked about Him.
