"I have hidden your word in my heart."

Psalm 119:11 NIV

When you go in your child’s room this month say, “Good morning, [child’s name]! It’s morning time. God loves us in the morning time, nighttime, ALL the time!”

As you drive, insert the places you pass along the way into this question, “Is God’s Word with you at the [grocery store]?” Encourage your child to say, “Yes, God’s Word is with me wherever I go!”

Cuddle up with your child this month and pray, “Dear God, Your Word says in Psalm 5:3 that ‘In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice’ (NIV). We want to thank You for listening to us when we talk
to You. I pray [child’s name] will grow up talking to you, believing that you hear everything [he/she] says. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

For bath time, cut a new kitchen sponge into the shape of a heart. When you place the sponge in the water say, “Water goes in.” When you squeeze the sponge say, “Water comes out.” As your child plays with the sponge say, “When we say God’s words over and over, the words go in our heart.”

SAY THIS:

WHAT IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO?

 

GOD'S WORD IS WITH ME WHEREVER I GO!

REMEMBER THIS:

GOD MADE ME. GOD LOVES ME.
JESUS WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND FOREVER.

“The plans of the Lord stand firm forever.” Psalm 33:11, NIV

When you go into your child’s room this month say, “Good morning, [child’s name]! I’m so glad God’s plan was to give you to me. I love hanging out with you!” Give child a big hug.

Cuddle up with your child this month and pray, “Dear God, thank You that Your plan was for me to be [child’s name]’s [mom/dad]. I love [him/her] so much! Help us to trust Your plan even when it’s hard. We know Your plan is always best. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

As you drive, name things you see that are firm/hard and bendable/soft. Road signs, trucks, and buildings are firm/hard. Leaves, grass, and flags are bendable/soft. Talk about how God’s plans are good and firm and only He can change them.

Add a cup that’s easy to scoop with, a large plastic container, and some bubble bath to bath time this month. Encourage your child to scoop the water and bubbles and fill the container. Talk about how Joseph helped Pharaoh fill the barns with food so they would have enough to eat when the food stopped growing.

SAY THIS:

WHO HAS A PLAN FOR YOU?

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR ME.

REMEMBER THIS:

GOD MADE YOU.
