MONTHLY FOCUS
JESUS WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND FOREVER
Remember This:
“Love each other as
I have loved you.”
JOHN 15:12, NIV
Say This:
Who does Jesus love?
JESUS LOVES EVERYONE.
Do This:
MORNING TIME
When you go into your child’s room this month, say, “Good morning! I see my sweet boy/girl. I love you so much, and so does Jesus!”
DRIVE TIME
As you drive, encourage your child to name someone each time you say, “Jesus loves . . .” Ex: Jesus loves [sibling’s name]. Jesus loves [friend’s name]. Jesus loves [grandparent]. End by saying together, “Jesus loves everyone!”
CUDDLE TIME
Cuddle with your child this month and pray, “Dear God, thank You for giving us Jesus to be our friend forever. He is such a good friend! Help us be a good friend to others, just like Jesus is a good friend to us. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
BATH TIME
Add a tea set or plastic pitcher with plastic cups to bath time. Encourage your child to pour water into the cups as if he/she is pouring drinks at dinner. Talk about how Jesus was Zacchaeus’ friend, even though he had made bad choices. Jesus even went to Zacchaeus’ house to eat dinner with him.
