MONTHLY FOCUS
JESUS WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND FOREVER
Remember This:
“’Come and follow me,’
Jesus said.”
MATTHEW 4:19, NIrV
Say This:
Who can you follow?
YOU CAN FOLLOW JESUS.
Do This:
MORNING TIME
When you go into your baby’s room, say, “Good morning, [baby’s name]!” Cuddle your baby and say, “Jesus loves you (point to baby) and Jesus loves me (point to self). I love you (point to baby) and you love me (point to self)!”
FEEDING TIME
While feeding your baby this month, tell your child some of the ways Jesus showed people He loved them while He was on Earth. Look your baby in the eyes and say, “Jesus loved people by listening to them. Jesus loved people by healing them. Jesus loved people by forgiving them. Jesus loved people by giving them food. Jesus loved people by teaching them.”
CUDDLE TIME
Cuddle with your baby this month and pray, “Dear God, the one thing Jesus tells me to do in order to show the world that I follow Him is love people the way He loves me. Help me to show the same grace and kindness and generosity to others that Jesus has shown me. I pray the same for [baby’s name]. I want him/her to love others the way Jesus loves him/her. I love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
BATH TIME
Sing the following words to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb as you bathe your baby: “I can follow, yes I can, yes I can, yes I can. I can follow, yes I can. I can follow Jesus.”
